Lyme Disease Often Missed as a Cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Lyme disease is caused by a spiral shaped bacteria (spirochete) called Borrelia burgdorferi. They can be transmitted by tics, but also by mosquitoes. The spirochets have been called "the great imitators" because they can mimic virtually any disease, which is why they are often misdiagnosed. Anyone with chronic illness and especially those with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia need to consider Lyme disease as the cause.
Patients with chronic Lyme disease most commonly have fatigue, joint and muscle pain, sleep disorders and cognitive problems (brain fog). In addition, infection with Borrelia often results in a low grade encephalopathy (infection of the brain) that can result in depression, Bipolar disorder, panic attacks, numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, twitching and is associated with neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, dementia such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). In addition, this infection often results in hormonal deficiencies, abnormal activation of coagulation and immune dysfunction, which potentiate the symptoms. Patients with chronic Lyme disease often complain of "strange" or "weird" symptoms that cannot be explained even after going to numerous doctors and often results in the patient being told that it must be psychological.Guarana can be bad for you when it is taken in large doses or in combination with foods and drinks that contain caffeine.

Some experts say there are upwards of 300 symptoms of celiac disease. A few examples are: growth problems, decreased appetite and failure to gain weight, chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, vomiting, abdominal bloating and pain, fatigue, and irritability.
A chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction is myasthenia gravis. It leads to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue.
Nerve damage, Bell's palsy, severe Arthritis, chronic fatigue, extreme mood swings, cognitive disorders, inflammation of joints, frequent headaches, and difficulty sleeping.
Levels in adults should be greater or equal to 30 (some say 37.5) Anything less can cause muscle and bone disorders. The muscle disorder produces constant pain. If the deficiency is accompanied with hypertension, depression, osteoporosis, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, or chronic pain, one might be diagnosed with VDDS, which is Vitamin D Deficiency Syndrome. Replenishing vitamin D can be done orally or through injection - prescription D not over the counter.
