Feel tired all of the time? Still feel tired after sleeping? Always having trouble sleeping?  These are serious signs of sleeping disorder problems.  Sleep disorder doctors like Dr. Mazlen can prescribe fibromyalgia medicine or treatments that can help you overcome these issues and avoid the risk factors.
 
WHY AM I…ALWAYS TIRED? 
Anemia, heavy menstrual cycle loss, lack of adequate sleep, over sedation, poor diet and rapid weight loss are the most easily treatable causes of fatigue. These are usually self-evident and easily remedied. But, fatigue or tiredness can span a great variety of causes. Often, pointing to a specific cause or causes can entail significant medical detective work. More prolonged fatigue may be due to more severe causes such as acute and/or post-viral fatigue and romes chronic mononucleosis, Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS), chronic pancreatitis, chronic liver disease, fibromyalgia, rheumalica, diabetes, mellitus, depression and at worst, cancers. WHAT CAN I DO? If your fatigue has lasted more than 6 months and you have other symptoms such as frequent infections and swollen glands make sure you see a physician. It is important to have a medical expert rule out and/or address possible serious conditions. COULD I HAVE CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME?
 
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is now more precisely known as Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS). Various scientific and lay-person groups are seeking to find an even more appropriate name for this complex medical condition.

Medical conditions that feature CFIDS are not a new phenomenon. The bell-weather condition that first drew public attention to a persistence of malaise of fatigue was infections mononucleosis or "mono" (the term was coined in 1921). By contract, the first consensus medical definition of C.F.S. was published by the

Communicable
Disease
Center in 1988. A revised medical definition of what is now known as CFIDS was presented and published by Dr. Fukuda and colleagues in 1994. In
Great Britain and
Canada, CFS is known by the name myalgic encephalitis (ME).

The main difference between the disease "mono" and CFIDS is that infectious mono is a more short-term state with return to normalcy in 3 to 12 months for most patients. In contrast, the majority of CFIDS patients continue to function at less than 50% of normalcy even after 5 years.

CFIDS is most common in Caucasian women over 40, 70% of whom are overweight. As a relatively new medical syndrome it is being increasingly recognized in children and adolescents, and can occur in families in both parents and their children. Approximately 800,000 Americans suffer from this complex disease.

The clinician's challenge in diagnosing CFIDS is to first rule-out other possible causes of prolonged fatigue such as: Lyme's disease, multiple sclerosis, various cancers, depression and post-viral syndrome such as "infectious mono." Today, most practitioners consider the Fukuda et al. criteria which requires concurrent occurrence of four or more symptoms (i.e. sore throat, lymph node pain, muscle aches, joint pain, post exertion malaise, headaches of a new or different type, memory and concentration difficulties and un-refreshing sleep), along with six or more months of fatigue that is not significantly alleviated by rest.

Recent research into CFIDS/ME reveals abnormalities at both the gene level and biomolecular level adversely affecting immunity and resistance to infection. Abnormalities in brain functioning have also been documented. As there is no known singular cause of the disease, there is no singular treatment or cure.

Through my expertise as a diagnostician and clinician, I have helped diagnose and treat thousands of cases of chronic fatigue over the past 25 years. Through exams and diagnostic testing, I use my expertise to diagnose the underlying causes of fatigue or tiredness in patients (whether from CFIDS, fibromyalgia or post-viral syndromes) then provide them with a plan to combat the underlying causes, boost their immunity and overall vitality. Now, through my web site, you can purchase the same immune boosting supplements that have helped so many of my patients in my private medical practice get back their energy and health--products like ImmunoPro, DelImmune5 and Biologically Active Colostrum. If you have questions about these products you can request an on-line consultation to obtain expert guidance in your selection.
