In this book, Joel Young, MD, presents the research, experience, and treatments that prove otherwise. Millions of Americans experience chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a continuous exhaustion and a feeling comparable to that of having just run a marathon when all they have done is a daily living task, such as taking a shower or getting dressed. Doctors don't have tests for CFS, and some think it's a faux or psychological disorder. Joel Young, MD, in this heavily researched book, explains why it is a true physical illness and how it may be treated. He details how he successfully treats the symptoms, which can include severe fatigue, "brain fog," chronic pain, and sleep problems. Unlike doctors who recommend exercise, supplements, or opioid medications, Young integrates such options as long-acting stimulants, meditation, and dietary changes to reduce fatigue, as well as non-opioid drugs, medical marijuana, and self-help options including yoga for the associated chronic pain. 606 $aHealth & personal development$2bicssc 606 $aChronic fatigue syndrome$xTreatment 606 $aChronic fatigue syndrome 615 7$aHealth & personal development 615 0$aChronic fatigue syndrome$xTreatment. 615 0$aChronic fatigue syndrome. 676 $a616.0478 700 $aYoung$b Joel L.$01479624 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794266203321 996 $aUnderstanding and treating chronic fatigue$93695830 997 $aUNINA
