Stop Chronic Fatigue

Posts Tagged ‘Natural’

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and am being tested for fibromyalgia as well. Are there any natural supplements out there that really work?

Feel like you’re just getting old and life is getting you down? Too many aches and pains? Tired all the time? Well, maybe you are getting old, and there’s nothing that can be done about your age, but certainly there is something that can be done to elevate your mood, give you more energy and alleviate those aches and pains.

Chronic fatigue syndrome often carries these symptoms, but with conventional medicine there’s not much you can do about it. It’s almost like saying, “Well, you’re just getting old,” or “it’s all in your head.”

The usual method of “handling” chronic fatigue syndrome are not workable. Conventional medicine includes psychological counseling, physical therapy and perhaps a dietitian and sleep therapist.

There are actual physical causes underlying chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic aches and pains and depression. What you eat will make a huge difference in how you feel. A diet high in saturated fats and refined vegetable oils will exacerbate pain, while the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and flaxseed oil will help alleviate it. Likewise, eating lots of refined carbohydrates will worsen your condition, whereas slow-burning carbohydrates (foods rich in fiber) give your body the sustained source of energy it needs.

Food allergies can also make a huge difference. Sometimes these allergies are not brought on until later in life, so if you have physical difficulties, a doctor should test for such things. Then those particular foods can be avoided. Wheat and dairy products are often culprits.

A low level of neurotransmitter serotonin in the body can also cause symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and old age. If a person has a low level of this chemical in the body, it can cause the sensation of pain to be heightened. It also plays a crucial role in regulating mood and contributing to depression.

St. John’s Wort, SAMe and 5-HIP are names of natural supplements that increase serotonin and can provide alleviation of pain and depression. They are much safer than psychiatric drugs and unlike psychiatric anti-depressants these natural remedies are backed by solid research. Also they do not have the damaging side effects of prescription anti-depressants.

If you feel like you are becoming a grouchy old man or woman, get yourself some help. A program especially for your body with a good diet and supplements will bring you new energy for life.

I am 23 years old and I have been diagnosed by a rheumatologist with fibromyalgia. The drugs he prescribed are helping, but I still have pain in all of my muscles. My other symptoms include muscle weakness, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, dizziness, and IBS with constipation. The constipation is even worse with the meds.

I have Fibromyalgia and have been on a roller coaster ride of prescription drugs. I’m sick of it. It’s been a couple years, and I’m still not feeling any better. I still hurt like H**L, but I really am sick of being treated like a guinea pig!!! I’m ready to try some natural remedies. I take Elavil for the psychological aspects of the disorder. I don’t want to be one of those people who says, “oh I feel fine” and then quits the meds, but I don’t want to be reliant on any drugs.
