Chronic Fatigue Relief: An Overview
Treatment for
chronic fatigue will depend on a number of factors. Chronic fatigue relief will begin by identifying the chronic fatigue cause
(see Chronic Fatigue Causes). Once your doctor is able to identify the cause, he or she will be able to recommend treatment for chronic fatigue relief.
Chronic Fatigue Relief: Talking With Your Doctor
If you think that you may be struggling with chronic fatigue, it is important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
When discussing chronic fatigue, it is also important to tell your doctor about any medications you are taking, including
dietary supplements, alternative treatments, and complementary treatments, because some medications can exaggerate symptoms of fatigue. For example, stimulants (such as caffeine) as well as corticosteroids may cause sleep disturbances. Your doctor can provide guidance on what medications and interventions may restore your sleep, as well as advice on medications to avoid as part of chronic fatigue relief.
It is also important to discuss chronic pain symptoms with your doctor because chronic pain often leads to sleep difficulties, which in turn leads to chronic fatigue. Your doctor may order laboratory tests to determine what organ(s) may be involved in causing chronic fatigue. Maintaining a healthy weight and participating in regular exercise may also help provide relief of chronic fatigue.
