Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The existence of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) was not formally recognized untill the late twentieth century. The basis on which doctors can make the diagnosis remains controversial and there is no specific test to confirm diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome usually occurs after a virul infection, especially glandular fever, but often it has no obvious cause. Only about a quater of people who have long-term debilitating tiredness suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but around half of those who do also have a history of allergic disorders, such as hay fever, asthma and eczema.

Related conditions include fibromyalgia (muscle pain) and chemical sensitivity. In both these conditions many of the symptoms are similar to those reported in CFS, and they may be particular forms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Sometimes the sufferer is found to have low levels of magnesium and in such cases intra-muscular supplements may be helpful.
