A wide variety of chronic disorders of suspected neurological causes such as Fibromyalgia (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFIDS) involve the existence of symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, anxiety and confusion, symptoms that generally occur in patients with depression.

Medical scientists explain that due to poor understanding of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue[..]

thousands of individuals who currently suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), the causes of this mysterious illness remain a mystery.

The wonders of alcohol. The achilles heel for many people. The 'norm' for some others. And poison if you have CFS/PVFS/ME ... I remember when I first got Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome/CFS back in 1995, I thought that having a drink or two wouldn't affect me any differently to my PRE-CFS days.

Nowadays I don't touch alcohol at all, and haven't done so for a few years now. I'd rather see at least a few hours in the day instead of being bedridden for weeks on end because of one alcoholic drink! Because when you have CFS/M.E., you might as well be pouring arsenic[..]

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome doctors are diagnosing new cases of this fairly common debilitating illness on a daily basis. Long term illnesses such as CFS often drain the vitality of patients for years before finally being diagnosed. What is unfortunate about late diagnoses like these is that while the symptoms can be mitigated, the time and joy lost as a result of being constantly tired can not be recovered.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is not a psychological condition. So how can hypnotherapy help a physical condition? Is there proof that mental states can affect physical ones? To start with, it is quite clear that affecting the body can cause positive or negative effects upon the mind. Starving the body of nutrition can cause the mind to suffer in many ways. Conversely eating a healthy diet keeps the brain and hence the mind, working in the best possible manner. So how about the mind affecting the body, though. What proof is there? One of the clearest reactions is that caused by stress. Stress causes the body to produce cortisol. One of the effects of[..]
