There is no virus called Yuppie Flu. It is a name given usually to a disorder called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Conditions usually are called a "Syndrome" when the underlying cause of a cluster of symptoms seen similarly in multiple patients has not been identified yet. This is the case with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. If you don't know what is causing it, you don't know what would prevent it. So, there is currently no prevention.
Sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome experience persistent and extreme tiredness. Even after resting, fatigue caused by mental or physical exertion often persists. Before an official diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome is given, other medical conditions must be ruled out by conducting various tests.Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue SyndromeThose with chronic fatigue syndrome often find it difficult to concentrate and remember things. Another classic symptom is the enlargement of the lymph nodes in the armpits and neck. A chronic sore throat and unexplained muscle pain are also experienced. Frequent headaches and uneasy sleep also come along with this painful syndrome. Also, extreme exhaustion typically sets in after physical or mental exercise and lasts longer than 24 hours. Depression and the desire to isolate oneself also affect chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers.Possible CausesThe cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is not entirely known. However, chronic fatigue syndrome sometimes sets in after a viral infection. In general, those with the syndrome have slightly impaired immune systems. Also, hormonal imbalances have been associated with the illness as well. Women are more likely to develop the disorder than men are. The illness most commonly affects those who are in their 40's and 50's. Also, those who are overweight, out of shape or under a lot of stress are more likely to develop the condition.TreatmentAntidepressants not only treat the depression experienced by chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers, but this medication also provides some pain relief and helps sufferers to sleep better. Also, going off of caffeine may help improve sleeping patterns. If not, sleeping pills may be prescribed by an attending health care physician.A physical therapist can schedule an exercise program that is right for each person. In the beginning, chronic fatigue sufferers may start out only with stretching and range-of-motion exercises for a few minutes a day. With time, the exercise program can be enhanced so as to experience greater benefits.A qualified psychologist helps chronic fatigue sufferers work through their problems and limitations. This helps patients relieve certain anxieties and feel more in control of their lives.
