WHAT IS CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by persistent extreme fatigue that cannot be resolved with proper sleep. It is more prevalent in women than men, and most patients are in their 40s and 50s, though there have been pediatric cases of CFS in children and adolescents as well.
SYMPTOMS & DIAGNOSIS
The cause of CFS is not known, but it is thought that it can develop after a viral infection, hypotension (very low blood pressure), or a hormone imbalance or as the result of a weakened immune system. There is no medical test for CFS, but you must have continuous fatigue for over 6 months in addition to at least four of the other following symptoms: feeling unrested after sleep, tender lymph nodes in the neck and armpit, muscle pain, headaches, loss of memory or concentration, multi-joint pain, sore throat, insomnia or other sleep disorders.
HOW DASHA CAN HELP
Acupuncture provides relief from CFS symptoms by strengthening the immune system through the release of endorphins that raise white blood cells, T-cells and antibodies. Acupuncture also restores hormone imbalances, reduces stress to promote better sleep, and eliminates toxins from the body, all helping to lessen the underlying symptoms of CFS.
