Facts about chronic fatigue disorders
Some disorders
have similar symptoms that the cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
is not yet known. Current theories are looking at the possibilities
of neuroendocrine dysfunction, viruses, environmental toxins, genetic
predisposition, or a combination of these. Fibromyalgia causes of
the condition produces vague symptoms that may be associated with
diminished blood flow to certain parts of the brain. If a patient
has had 6 or more consecutive months of severe fatigue that is reported
to be unrelieved by sufficient bed rest and that is accompanied
by nonspecific symptoms, including flu-like symptoms, generalized
pain, and memory problems, the physician should further investigate
the possibility that the patient may have CFS.
Many patients
depict this situation by saying that they feel as though their arms
and legs are tied to concrete blocks, e.g., brain fog. There are
no immune disorders in CFS patients on the scale traditionally associated
with disease. However, no associated tissue damage typical of autoimmune
disease has been described in patients with CFS. The opportunistic
infections or increased risk for cancer observed in persons with
immunodeficiency diseases or in immunosuppressed individuals is
also not observed in CFS. Several investigators have reported lower
numbers of natural killer cells or decreased natural killer cell
activity among CFS patients compared with healthy controls, but
others have found no differences between patients and controls.
Sleep disorder
- Most fibro myalgia syndrome (FMS) patients have an associated
sleep disorder called the alpha-EEG anomaly. This condition was
uncovered in a sleep lab with the aid of a machine that recorded
the brain waves of patients during sleep. Researchers found that
most FMS patients could fall asleep without much trouble, The problems
are related to the muscles and ligaments surrounding the jaw joint
and not necessarily the joint itself. Other common symptoms - Premenstrual
syndrome and painful periods, chest pain, morning stiffness, cognitive
or memory impairment, numbness and tingling sensations, muscle twitching,
irritable bladder, the feeling of swollen extremities, skin sensitivities,
dry eyes and mouth, dizziness, and impaired coordination can occur.
sPatients are
often sensitive to odors, loud noises, bright lights, and sometimes
even the medications that they are prescribed. Aggravating factors
- Changes in weather, cold or drafty environments, infections, allergies,
hormonal fluctuations, stress, depression, anxiety and over-exertion
may all contribute to symptom flare-ups. If a patient has low levels
of serum albumin together with an above-normal result for the blood
urea nitrogen test, kidney disease would be suspected. The physician
may choose to repeat the relevant tests and possibly add new ones
aimed specifically at diagnosing kidney disease.
