Many people often ask “What Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Feels Like?” Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) actually affects more Australians than you think. It has become quite common these days in Australia,What Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Feels Like – Story Of A Patient Articles but many people aren’t even aware what’s troubling them.

 

Here’s a story of Adam – a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome. He will tell What Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Feels Like?

 

“Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is undetectable. Many individuals with Chronic Fatigue have no obvious symptoms. Just the dark circles under our eyes indicate the steady agony individuals with Chronic Syndrome bear, going through muscle pain, brain fog and fatigue. Chronic CFS decreases your spirit. It slowly kills your dreams, your cheerful nature, your joy, and your unconstrained happiness.”

 

“Individuals with Chronic Fatigue are exhausted for every single minute every day. CFS is like something you have never felt before. In the beginning, it feels similar to flu, a headache, and how you feel after intense exercise. The weariness can develop every day until it becomes continuous.”

 

“There’s a chance that if you push too hard, overlook the symptoms or the warning sign — CFS weakness will wreak havoc on your body. It has a craving for need to rests on the bed for the whole day. It’s like being a toddler again, powerless and sad and absolutely crushed by a tiredness you can't understand, forget about explaining.”

 

“Individuals who have never suffered from Chronic Fatigue are not aware of its upsetting nature. They are not conscious of its unpredictable assault, the sting of its sharp teeth. They ask why you appeared to be fine one moment, and now all of a sudden can’t even move from the bed or couch? Why you go blank and can’t think properly? They fail to understand what's it like being excessively drained, making it impossible to close your eyes, and excessively drained, making it impossible to concentrate on them either. It’s about how you don't know who you are, forget about what you need now.”

 

Adam says “Chronic Fatigue affects me from the minute I wake to the minute I go to the bed again, damaged every night. It also affects me when I rest, as my body doesn’t get recharged overnight and my fatigue even affects my sleep. At different times each day, Chronic Fatigue forces me to lie on my bed for 60 minutes or 2-3 hours, and feel the intense pressure on my body.”

 

“For me CFS exhaustion implies I need to plan each day ahead of time. The danger of a weakness ‘crash’ implies if I am going out anyplace, I have to stay aware how will arrive at that place, how long I will be out, where I can get rest, temperature, availability of food, noise levels, how I will return home.”

 

“However, I refuse to accept defeat from Chronic fatigue Syndrome. I’m getting treatment from Dr Peter Dobie, and I have made many lifestyle changes. My body has started showing positive results, and I promise you – I’ll be back again, but this time fresher, rejuvenated and full of energy.”
