Why Am I So Exhausted? : Understanding Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue is a symptom, not a condition in its own right, and can have many causes.

Almost certainly this will have meant full recovery is elusive. Why Am I So Exhausted? may be able to help because it: is based on Martin Budds 45+ years of successfully treating patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. It defines CFS broadly and simply as long-term unexplained fatigue rather than worrying about exact labels and is based on naturopathic principles: Diagnosis and treatment must take into account all aspects of the individual sufferer; In particular, blood test results should be interpreted in the light of the individuals symptoms and history; Where possible, treatment should be based on diet and nutritional supplements. Martin explains that chronic fatigue is very rarely caused by a single disease, but by several, generally interrelated health problems and shows how the multiple causes can be identified and treated. He describes how the physical effects of long-term stress can lead to health problems and how this can result in sufferers problems being interpreted as all in the mind; and he includes detailed patient case histories that show how complex chronic fatigue syndrome can be.
