Discussion of Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has been found to be interrelated or coinciding with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). CFS or ME, is a chronic illness that can present with a multitude of symptoms. The most prevalent of them is extremely severe fatigue. It is becoming more prevalent now in the modern age even in younger people. However, it typically is a problem for women, and it usually develops between the 20s and 40s.

The symptoms of CFS/ME are excessive fatigue, sleep disorders headaches, influenza-like signs, sore throats, trouble concentrating and thinking muscles and joint discomfort, dizziness, or irregular heartbeat.

CFS/ME may be activated when the body is suffering from an infection that is bacterial or viral and/or an insufficient immunity, hormone imbalance or a mental health issue. It could also be acquired genetically.

While diagnosing CFS/ME may be extremely difficult, it can manifest in the body of a patient through neuroendocrine, autonomic as well as immune-related manifestations. It requires two of the three signs to be identified as having CFS/ME. CFS/ME's symptoms can last at the very least six months.

Autonomic Manifestation

The autonomic nervous system is one that controls vital bodily functions, including digestion, respiration as well as urination and blood circulation, among other. CFS/ME sufferers have reported experiencing palpitations, lower blood pressure, signs of an irritable bladder, as well as gastric issues.

Neuroendocrine Manifestation

The neuroendocrine system is made up of specific cells that release hormones when they receive signals received by the nervous system.

One example of this is the pituitary, which controls the activity of the glands that secrete hormones. The neuroendocrine issues that result from CFS/ME are mostly caused by the inability to regulate the production of hormones (i.e. cortisol serotonin, insulin,).

Immune Manifestation

The immune system is comprised of a complicated collection of tissues and proteins which protect your body from infections by identifying and killing the source (i.e. microbes). Patients with CFS/ME have displayed problems with these immune cells which makes them less efficient. More significant manifestations caused through chronic fatigue include orthostatic intolerance and cognitive impairment.

Cognitive impairment is when people have trouble thinking, understanding, retaining and processing information. They might also be suffering from deficient psychomotor abilities. Furthermore, these impairments could affect the patient's ability to go to classes or to keep an occupation or family chores.

In the case of Orthostatic intolerance patients often develop more severe symptoms. The symptoms could include changes in blood pressure or heart rate, an increase in fatigue and cognitive impairments like worsened nausea, lightheadedness and feeling of fainting and severe headache or migraines. The manifestation is deemed to be more problematic because it occurs in the daily routine of the patient. The symptoms might be relieved, but not completely solved, if you lie down, but they can get worse when standing up. This is common among teenagers.

Treating Chronic Fatigue

Ozone therapy can aid in treating CFS/ME by boosting the body's energy levels. When the energy level is increased it is possible for the body to fight and overcome fatigue. Furthermore, an increase in blood oxygen levels and an increase in cellular respiration could be observed once fatigue has been cured.

Ozone therapy is also known to increase nutrition in the body, allowing it to work faster. Through oxidation and stimulation of cytokines, it is able to control the immune system. Cytokines generated by Ozone high dose therapy such as 10 pass ozone can improve the efficiency that the immune system of your body needs to handle inflammation, pain and infections.

In a research study in which Umberto Tirelli and his colleagues treated 65 patients suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome the results demonstrated that ozone therapy can be an effective treatment in chronic fatigue syndrome.

By using ozone therapy, your body will be able to react to bacteria, viruses and other pains quickly. It also helps white blood cells fight infections faster and more effectively and it can help make the symptoms of CFS/ME less painful.
