It Is Not All In Your Head!


Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is one of the most frequently diagnosed ‘mystery’ conditions. More than one million Americans suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and those numbers are on the rise. This illness strikes more people than multiple sclerosis, lupus, and many forms of cancer. CFS occurs four times more frequently in woman than men. 

Why is CFS on the rise? 
Is this some kind of epidemic or has CFS become the catch all diagnosis for health conditions when you experience fatigue and pain and they can’t figure out what else is wrong with you. A syndrome is by definition a group of symptoms that consistently occur together. So, in truth, chronic fatigue is not really a disease just a bunch of symptoms. These symptoms can be very serious, life threatening and debilitating. 

So the question remains, what is causing all these symptoms? Is it diet, diseases, environmental factors, or all of the above. Sadly the health care arena has more questions than answers. These unanswered questions can leave CFS sufferers feeling hopeless and resolved to the fact that they may have to live with these debilitating symptoms the rest of their life. You do not have to let these symptoms control your life. There are both traditional and nontraditional treatment methods that help you figure out the root causes of your CFS symptoms and to manage these symptoms.

Depression and Anxiety

CFS is difficult to deal with. Over time addressing any type of chronic illness can lead to symptoms of depression or anxiety. These may also be primary symptoms for some patients with CFS.

One tool that doctors may use for treating depression and anxiety is the use of prescription medications. Here are some commonly prescribed medications used for CFS that may help with depression and anxiety.

Tricyclic Antidepressants – examples include amitriptyline, desipramine and notriptlyine. Tricyclic antidepressants may be effective for treating symptoms including chronic pain, along with depression.
SSRIs – Selective Serotonin-Reuptake Inhibitors may help reduce depression; examples include examples of these medications include citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline. Researchers believe that SSRIs inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, making more available. A natural alternative to SSRI is 5-HTP. The amino acid 5-HTP is used by the body to make new serotonin and increase serotonin levels naturally without unpleasant side effects. Never take 5-HTP while you are on an SSRI.
SNRIs – These drugs are a different class of antidepressants. Known as selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors; examples include desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, levomilnacipran, milnacipran, and venlafaxine. Some other medications including tramadol, a pain medication, may fall into this category. These medications work on two neurotransmitters, serotonin and norepinephrine.
Anti-Anxiety Medications – Medications including benzodiazepines may work by reducing headaches and inducing a feeling of drowsiness.
