What are the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyaligia? Any similarities?
Re: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Fibromyalgia you have more pain from my understanding. A teacher I worked with had fibromyalgia....she was always in pain and dealing with the little ones became so difficult for her that she ended up quited her job :(
You can feel fatigue from both as well as numbness, and headaches. I am sure there are many other similarities that I am unaware of.
Re: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
fibromyalgia is a disorder , where patient feel pain in most part of body and it gets aggrevated by even slight touch , it's a medical condition and require treatment.
whereas chronic fatigue is a syndrome ( not a disease) which could be present with or without underlying disease hence may not req medications , but could be healed by therapies and remedies or even couselling, it's more in people who're aging , under constant stress , have disturbed metabolism, have been sick or under medications for a long period.

Niksik, i had opened a thread on it, sometime ago.
CFS is a huge problem with many people. and there is medical causation for it as well in many cases. in others, poople become lethargic, sedentary and in general donot feel like doing anything. they have very low tolerence and patience for any kind of demanding task that needs focus and sustained attention. people feel sleepy, groggy and lack any activism within themselves physically and mentally. the sad thing is, people dont get to identify this condition early enough.
over-worked people do feel similar burn out as well. loneliness and monotony can also tax peoples' ability to be otherwise, happy, active and ready to take on some fun activities. they lack enthusiasm and are very passive.
psychological impact and emotional emptiness can be one impact on this kind of body response to the environment when an individual becomes affect-less. another more probable cause is that the body needed rest and it is long over due.
women who begin to show depression and monotony gets to them, are especially prone to CFS.
