Factors that may contribute to chronic fatigue include overwork, high stress, poor nutrition, long term exhaustion, or a weakened immune system. People that have chronic fatigue are often unable to carry out daily activities, such as going to school or working, and the fatigue is often both mental and physical. Usually, chronic fatigue syndrome is only diagnosed if four or five of the indicating symptoms are present, and only after more serious conditions are ruled out.<\/p>\n

In fact, many people who are diagnosed with chronic fatigue have also had a history of health conditions. Usually, chronic fatigue syndrome is only diagnosed if four or five of the indicating symptoms are present, and only after more serious conditions are ruled out. Some of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome include:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Mental Exhaustion<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>If you have been pushing your cognitive function to the absolute limit for longer than you can remember (because memory is also negatively affected by unrelenting and high levels of stress), you may have noticed that your mental and emotional bandwidth has experienced a tremendous decrease. You may now be battling with inability to sleep or focus on tasks or maintain your interest in people and activities, the constant nagging of irritation, apathy, cravings for unhealthy foods or substances, and you may just feel like you\u2019re on autopilot, zoned out from the moment you wake to the moment your head hits the pillows.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Lack of Motivation<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Motivation is separate from discipline: discipline is getting up and going to work or the gym because you have trained yourself to do it, even when your mind and body are working against you. Motivation is the excitement and purpose that propels you forward and can make discipline (and working towards your goals) easy and enjoyable. Even the most determined workers and athletes have days where they lack motivation, but go anyway, and even the rare days where the lack of motivation prevents them from accomplishing their task.<\/p>\nBut if you notice that your lack of motivation is keeping you from seeing your goal, and more often than not you are not accomplishing your to do lists, then you may benefit from changing things up.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>General Malaise\u202f <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Some days we wake up and just know that something is off, we can\u2019t always put our finger on it, but we\u2019ve lived in our body long enough to know when we feel unwell or sick, even if there are no other indicators. That general discomfort is known as malaise, and it\u2019s your whole being sending you signal that it needs something.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Swollen Lymph Nodes<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Lymph nodes are the little clusters of cells behind your ears, around your neck, and in your armpits, chest, abdomen, and groin. Chances are, you have a relationship with one or more of these areas due to a past experience: maybe the back of your ear was swollen, or under your chin, letting you know that you were about to be sick.<\/p>\nIf you are experiencing this familiar swelling but it isn\u2019t followed up by the usual illness, your lymph nodes may be trying to tell you something else is wrong.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Chronic Sore Throat<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>You know what a sore throat feels like: the itch, the burn, the constant need to cough or the awful scratch when you speak up, and swallowing simultaneously makes it better and worse. If you are experiencing a chronic sore throat and don\u2019t feel the usual cold or flu symptoms, it might just be chronic fatigue.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Headaches\u202f<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIt should come as no shock that force-feeding your brain constant stimuli and stressors may cause your mind to physically ache in lieu of relaxation and relief. Meditation can be a wonderful tool for quelling that pain, but trying to force yourself to think about nothing may also contribute to your headache.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Fatigue After Sleeping\u202f <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Theoretically, it\u2019s simple: we wake, we live, we sleep. But what if that sleep isn\u2019t restful, and we keep waking up at night, or are only lightly asleep, unable to delve into the healing bliss of a deep slumber? Then we wake up tired, and living isn\u2019t quite as easy or fun, and then we have to try to sleep again, but once we enter that vicious circle, it can be hard to get out.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>All Day Exhaust<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Maybe some people wake up puffy, but get their first cup of coffee and are up and running until the night comes. Others may be complete rays of sunshine in the morning, then hit a slump around lunch or maybe they\u2019re good until after dinner. With chronic fatigue, it may feel more like waking up tired, dragging yourself through the day, dragging yourself through the afternoon, and barely scraping by in the evening, and any ideas of going out with friends or family? Forget it. Don\u2019t let chronic fatigue keep you from living a full day.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Muscular Aches<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThere is a feeling of accomplishment when you\u2019re sore after a hard workout, it can be an indicator that you trained well and your muscles are ready to grow. But if you\u2019re waking up and your muscles ache like they would after a heavy workout that you didn\u2019t do, that is not only uncomfortable but a major indicator that something else is wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span> Joint Pain<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Are your fingers aching when you flex and bend them? Do your knees and hips experience bouts of stiffness and you\u2019re constantly rolling your wrists and elbows around, looking for a pop or some relief? Chronic fatigue can cause your joints to throb and ache without the redness or swelling you would normally look for in a joint condition, leaving people stumped and wondering what exactly is causing them to feel this way.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

But if you\u2019re waking up and your muscles ache like they would after a heavy workout that you didn\u2019t do, that is not only uncomfortable but a major indicator that something else is wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span> Joint Pain<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Are your fingers aching when you flex and bend them? Do your knees and hips experience bouts of stiffness and you\u2019re constantly rolling your wrists and elbows around, looking for a pop or some relief? Chronic fatigue can cause your joints to throb and ache without the redness or swelling you would normally look for in a joint condition, leaving people stumped and wondering what exactly is causing them to feel this way.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
But if you notice that your lack of motivation is keeping you from seeing your goal, and more often than not you are not accomplishing your to do lists, then you may benefit from changing things up.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>General Malaise\u202f <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Some days we wake up and just know that something is off, we can\u2019t always put our finger on it, but we\u2019ve lived in our body long enough to know when we feel unwell or sick, even if there are no other indicators. That general discomfort is known as malaise, and it\u2019s your whole being sending you signal that it needs something.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Swollen Lymph Nodes<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Lymph nodes are the little clusters of cells behind your ears, around your neck, and in your armpits, chest, abdomen, and groin. Chances are, you have a relationship with one or more of these areas due to a past experience: maybe the back of your ear was swollen, or under your chin, letting you know that you were about to be sick.<\/p>\nIf you are experiencing this familiar swelling but it isn\u2019t followed up by the usual illness, your lymph nodes may be trying to tell you something else is wrong.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Chronic Sore Throat<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>You know what a sore throat feels like: the itch, the burn, the constant need to cough or the awful scratch when you speak up, and swallowing simultaneously makes it better and worse. If you are experiencing a chronic sore throat and don\u2019t feel the usual cold or flu symptoms, it might just be chronic fatigue.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Headaches\u202f<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIt should come as no shock that force-feeding your brain constant stimuli and stressors may cause your mind to physically ache in lieu of relaxation and relief. Meditation can be a wonderful tool for quelling that pain, but trying to force yourself to think about nothing may also contribute to your headache.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Fatigue After Sleeping\u202f <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Theoretically, it\u2019s simple: we wake, we live, we sleep. But what if that sleep isn\u2019t restful, and we keep waking up at night, or are only lightly asleep, unable to delve into the healing bliss of a deep slumber? Then we wake up tired, and living isn\u2019t quite as easy or fun, and then we have to try to sleep again, but once we enter that vicious circle, it can be hard to get out.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>All Day Exhaust<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Maybe some people wake up puffy, but get their first cup of coffee and are up and running until the night comes. Others may be complete rays of sunshine in the morning, then hit a slump around lunch or maybe they\u2019re good until after dinner. With chronic fatigue, it may feel more like waking up tired, dragging yourself through the day, dragging yourself through the afternoon, and barely scraping by in the evening, and any ideas of going out with friends or family? Forget it.
