The rhythm of modern life is very, very high.Our life is such that a person has practically no time for rest. This problem affects absolutely all age categories, from kindergarten-age children to pensioners. Kindergartens, schools, extra classes, sections, exams, universities, work, career building and the like - all this requires a colossal expenditure of energy from a modern person. As a result of such a rhythm of life, such a phenomenon as chronic fatigue syndrome has become very widespread. Surely, everyone has heard about this phenomenon at least once in their life, but not everyone takes this disease seriously, not considering it as such at all. However, despite the denial, this phenomenon is very common, especially among residents of large cities, ecologically unfavorable regions. And if a person has chronic fatigue syndrome, treatment is simply necessary for him, otherwise it is possible to develop quite serious negative consequences for health, up to the development of serious diseases.
Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue
Signs of Chronic Fatigue Syndromeare often very different and rather vague, and, as a rule, they manifest themselves in a complex. Doctors identify several main symptoms that appear when a person has chronic fatigue syndrome:
- A constant feeling of fatigue, occurring during three or more weeks, which does not go away even after a long and full rest, and also after a decrease in the load.
- Muscular discomfort. A sick person complains of a feeling of weakness, pain in the muscles, similar to those that arise the next day after increased physical exertion.
- Also, a person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, often complains of a significant decrease in memory and even depression
- In particularly severe cases of chronic fatigue, a sick person may have fever and a significant increase in lymph nodes that are painful enough for palpation.
- Violation of normal sleep - the appearance of both insomnia, and vice versa, increased drowsiness.
- Pain in the joints, appearing for no apparent reason.
- Constant headaches of unclear etiology.
All of the above symptoms in the absence ofadequate treatment progress, but their progression is not due to the presence of concomitant somatic diseases that can cause similar symptoms. And even with a thorough clinical examination of the body, doctors fail to identify any deviations from the normal state, laboratory tests also do not reveal any deviations from the physiological norm. There are no pathological changes in either the blood or urine. The doctor also does not note any pathological deviations on X-ray images, there are none during ultrasound examination. Biochemical parameters of blood during its clinical examination remain within the normal range, there are no changes in the endocrine system. As a rule, people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome are diagnosed with either a neurotic reaction or banal vegetative-vascular dystonia. The treatment that is usually prescribed in such cases does not bring any positive result at all, the patient's condition quickly worsens, significant changes in memory and psyche and even changes in the electrocardiogram may occur. If we talk about chronic fatigue syndrome, the reasons must be named without fail. And although a reliable, single cause of chronic fatigue symptoms has not yet been identified, doctors still name several provoking factors that can cause the disease. Chronic fatigue syndrome can be caused by the following reasons:
- Viral diseases that cause nonspecific activation of the immune system.
- Psychophysical factors, such as persistent fatigue and stressful situations.
- Living hurts people in megacities and ecologically unfavorable regions.
- Inadequate or irregular nutrition of the sick person, leading to the emergence of acute, or chronic avitaminosis.
Treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome
So, the diagnosis is clear - chronic bronchitis syndromefatigue, how to treat it? At the moment, there are several methods of treating chronic fatigue syndrome in official medicine. The most favorite among doctors is intravenous administration of immunoglobulin G. However, recently this method of treatment gives more and more complications. In order for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome to be effective, it must be comprehensive. If you treat not the disease itself, but its individual symptoms, it is simply impossible to achieve an improvement in the patient's condition. The following measures must be included in the complex treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome:
- Normalization and strict control over the rest regime, as well as the level of physical exertion of a sick person.
- Normalization of diet and dietary therapy.
- Vitamin - mineral therapy. A person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome should receive a full course of such vitamins of group B and vitamin C.
- If possible, massage and water procedures should be added to the treatment complex.
- Any ways of normalizing the psycho-emotional state available to a sick person.
- Physiotherapy is also able to significantly improve a person's condition in the presence of chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Applications of immunocorrectors of general action, which possess adaptogenic action.
- The use of enterosorbent preparations by sick people, for example, such as enterosgel.
During treatment, it is very important to systematicallysystematic medical observation of the patient's condition, and in case of a severe course of the disease, it makes sense to think about inpatient treatment to prevent the development of complications. Inpatient treatment is necessary for the full normalization of rest and physical activity of the patient. It is most expedient to carry out such treatment in the neurological departments of hospitals or specialized sanatoriums or health resorts, where it is possible to create the necessary conditions for the patient. A person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome must necessarily take mandatory walks in the fresh air, and their duration should not be less than two hours a day. The patient should try to choose the cleanest possible places for a walk, preferably in green spaces, where the air is much cleaner than in industrial areas of the city. However, if for some reason this is impossible, even a simple walk on the way home from work can be of great benefit. Therapeutic physical culture is also an indispensable assistant in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome. A set of exercises for therapeutic physical culture should be selected by a specially trained health worker. Such exercises allow you to maintain good physical shape, but they spare the body, without overloading it.
