Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), is a complex, debilitating condition characterized by profound fatigue that doesn't improve with rest and worsens with physical or mental activity (post-exertional malaise). Functional medicine investigates the multiple potential root causes including mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic infections, immune dysregulation, and hormonal imbalances to restore energy and function.
Common symptoms
- Severe, persistent fatigue lasting more than 6 months
- Post-exertional malaise (PEM) - worsening after activity
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Cognitive impairment (brain fog, memory issues)
- Orthostatic intolerance (dizziness upon standing)
- Muscle and joint pain
- Headaches
- Sore throat and tender lymph nodes
- Sensitivity to light, sound, and chemicals
