CFS- Additional Symptoms:
If a person suffers with many, many symptoms, this fact easily can complicate the process of defining and getting a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Along with figuring out CFS, you must address the other symptoms and conditions, too.
Tackling them individually may be the smartest way to go, but don’t forget to consider how they relate to each other.
People with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome may have additional symptoms, such as:
- Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS)
- Lupus
- Lyme Disease
- Sjogren’s Syndrome
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Depression or psychological symptoms (primary or secondary depression, irritability, mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks, thoughts of suicide, etc.)
- Chills and/or night sweats (wide variances in body temperature and hormonal components of menopause, etc.)
- Hyper-Skin sensitivities (pain to light touch, tingling, etc.)
- Visual and hearing disturbances (hyper-sensitivities to noise, etc.)
- Allergenic problems and sensitivities (reactions to foods, odors, chemicals, medications)
- Difficulty sitting up or standing (maintaining an upright position and fainting associated with Orthostatic Intolerance, etc. This can be known as Neurally Mediated Hypotension or one of the other related problems to blood pressure and proper communication in the body.)
- Sleep Dysfunction (going to sleep, staying asleep, Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movements and more.)
