Handle your sickness and do not let it handle you.
Chronic disorders and illnesses often demand a lot from patients in order for them to control the symptoms. However, the best course of action is to always take the upper hand in controlling the disorder. If you have spent months or years suffering from this syndrome, it is likely that you have developed a sense of helplessness and defeat against the disorder. But this must not be the case. Gain back control and know how to handle the disorder. Understandably, if you’ve been doing with CFS for sometime now this seems to be rather glib advice. But please do read on for some suggestions:

Look for simple but effective solutions
Not all CFS treatments may work for you. This is because while there is a general clinical definition of the disorder, there are various levels of severity whereby it occurs. So if you think your prescribed medications are not doing you much good, look elsewhere for symptom relief.

There is a host of treatment and therapies you can use which oftentimes go beyond conventional medicine.
Try to look for those. Consult herbalists and alternative medicine therapists. Ask your doctor about supplements instead of antibiotics and pain relievers. Go to a psychologist and ask whether there are therapies you can undergo to facilitate better coping with your illness. Don’t be limited by pharmacological treatments, experiment with various options and pick some that provide you with the most benefits.

Take lessons from each day
Take note of your symptoms and your responses to treatments and therapies. It is important to keep a journal of your daily experience as this can help guide you on how to better manage your disorder.

Take charge of your healthcare
Take an active role in facilitating the delivery of healthcare services for yourself. If what your doctor gives you does not work, find someone else. Doní’ be afraid to get second or third opinion from doctors who are experts in immune system dysfunction.

Move your body
For most patients, the idea of doing some physical activities is not only impossible but unthinkable. Nonetheless, recent studies have shown that minor physical activities pick up one’s energy and health so try undergoing exercise programs. Try graded exercise therapy, for example. According to recent studies, this therapy improves the physical energy and capacity of an individual with chronic fatigue syndrome. While it is of course hard for the first few months, first few years even, it is always worth the effort. Eventually, with a little activity done each day, the body will regain the strength and vigor that once were available prior to the onset of chronic fatigue.
