Chronic fatigue is a complex disorder characterized by extreme and persistent tiredness that is not relieved by rest. The key symptoms include severe and unrelenting fatigue that significantly interferes with normal activities and does not improve with sleep or rest.
Other common symptoms may include:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Headaches
- Sore throat
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Difficulty concentrating or trouble with memory
The specific cause of chronic fatigue is not well understood, but it may be related to
infections, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, genetics, or emotional trauma. Underlying medical conditions like
thyroid disorders, anemia, sleep apnea, or untreated depression can also trigger chronic fatigue.
"At Balance Hormone Clinic, we've helped hundreds of patients overcome chronic fatigue through customized hormone balancing plans. Our naturopathic doctors can order advanced hormone tests to identify any hormonal imbalances contributing to fatigue."
Some key points about chronic fatigue:
- It's more than just being tired - the fatigue significantly impacts normal function
- It involves more than just physical exhaustion - cognitive difficulties are also common
- It persists for 6 months or longer, often without improvement from sleep/rest
- It can't be explained by an underlying medical issue like untreated hypothyroidism
"Many patients see major improvements in energy levels after we optimize their thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones to more youthful levels through bioidentical hormones, nutrition plans, and targeted supplements."
