Imagine a lifetime of sickness, of perpetual headaches and of endless flu-like illness.
Imagine being unable to walk from your bed to the couch because of too much exhaustion.
Imagine being locked up in your house, unable to go to work to earn a living.
Well, that sums up life for most sufferers of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS is a disorder both of the mind and the body.
Apart from the symptoms mentioned above, CFS also afflicts the immune system which makes an individual become very sickly.
It also affects one's threshold to physical activities, thus making an individual feel worn out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Further, it limits a person to very minimal activities which make him incapable of holding a job.
With these realities, it is hard to imagine how one can live a normal, healthy life while suffering from chronic fatigue.
But can a normal life materialize if you are continuously bothered by the symptoms of this disease?
Most likely yes. Below are some of the things that one can do to limit the negative effects of the disease on yourself and on your life.
Remove the diets that spell disaster - It is easy to sabotage one's health these days by just following the average American's sense of food proportions, by consuming too much processed foods and by eating too many flour- and sugar-based foods.
Sugar is notorious for killing the diets of Americans and so are flour, transfat, processed foods, etc.
These types of foods are accounted for numerous diseases that upset health.
Since these foods take up so much space on the plate, nothing is left for foods with high nutritive values anymore.
And for people suffering from CFS, it is crucial to maintain a certain level of nutrition in the body.
So always try to eat healthy foods, this would lessen some of the biggest problems concerning your condition such as infection and weakened immune system.
Conquer Chronic Fatigue - If you are a sufferer of CFS, you understand that it is easier to stay in bed than to work around the house when you are seriously exhausted.
However, it is important to maintain some form of physical activity.
Try not to give in to exhaustion and incorporate activity to your daily life.
Eventually, you would be able to exercise without getting too worn out.
Win over the illness mentality - In the face of chronic diseases, it is a lot more convenient to let negative thoughts defeat you.
Try to picture a life free from chronic fatigue and try to make that picture your goal. Think that your condition is just a state of mind and changes in thinking would liberate you from the troubles of your disease.
If you use this technique, which is actually a sound psychotherapeutic technique called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you would not only help alleviate the symptoms of your condition but you can also prevent these from bothering you again.
Discover techniques that can treat your condition - Since the cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is yet to be established, you might as well discover one for yourself.
There are actually treatment techniques that you can formulate for yourself as bases of your self-care system.
These can be made from careful observation of activities and treatments that you respond well to.
I have co-authored a book that details all the best proven CFS treatments that you can apply to help you better cope with CFS.
