What is CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME?

Chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalopathy (CFS/MS) is a serious illness characterised by the fact that the person affected can hardly cope with normal everyday life due to particularly rapid and prolonged exhaustion. For this reason, the disease is also called chronic fatigue syndrome.

Chronic fatigue usually develops due to several causes that reinforce each other. Physical, emotional and social circumstances play a major role. Why some people suffer from fatigue and others do not is not yet fully understood.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Tumour disease and its therapy
• Anaemia (anaemia)
• Malnutrition and weight loss
• Sepsis
• Lack of exercise and muscle loss
• Sleep disorders
• Deficiency of thyroid, adrenal or sex hormones
• Chronic infections
• Side effects of medication

How we can help

There is currently no curative therapy approach and thus no complete recovery for those affected. There are various therapy approaches, which include physical training, psycho-oncology, mind-body procedures, but also drug treatment and medical rehabilitation.

We also offer the possibility of extracorporeal hyperthermia and oxygenation of the blood, if necessary in combination with the use of special filters to remove toxic substances from the blood. Experience has shown an improvement in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
