Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a baffling condition that traps people in a relentless state of exhaustion. Unlike ordinary tiredness, sleep offers no escape. This enigma is often accompanied by muscle aches, headaches, and a fog that clouds thinking.
The cause of CFS remains a mystery, but some researchers propose a fascinating link: a malfunctioning stress response system. Imagine the fight-or-flight response constantly stuck on “on,” draining the body’s resources and leaving it perpetually depleted. This theory underscores the powerful mind-body connection in CFS, suggesting a breakdown in the delicate balance between emotional state and physical well-being.
