Answer 1

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
This is also known as the 'post viral syndrome' or 'myalgic enchphalomylitis;. This is a syndrome in which person suffering from an acute illness never seems to recover fully from it. Even after the acute illness is over, the patient does not feel well and complains of malaise, fatigue, myalgia, headache, and exhaustion.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CAUSE

Not known specifically. Usually occurs after an acute viral illness.
Enteroviruses are implicated.
Often occurs after mononucleosis.
Overexertion (mental or physical) during an acute illness can predispose to it.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - MECHANISM - WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

Not known so far.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The most pronounced symptom is 'fatigue'. the person always feels very tired, sometimes so much that even going from one room to other may seem like a chore.
Myalgia or body ache
General malaise and headache
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - HOW DIAGNOSIS IS MADE?

Diagnosis is usually done clinically.
There is no specific test but in some cases antibodies to Coxsackie-B or Epstein-Barr viruses may be present.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - COMPLICATIONS

Since the complaint is chronic in nature, depression, work inefficiency can occur.
Many patients become chronically disabled.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - WHAT TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM?

Acute viral illness is often followed by a week or two of weakness and sleepiness. This should not cause unnecessary worry.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - HOMEOPATHIC Medicines & TREATMENT
Homeopathy is the only form of treatment that I have seen working in this condition. But even with homeopathic drugs it may take a few months to resolve this condition fully. But considering that there is no conventional treatment and most people suffer for years, a few months may be a very short period.

Some of the medicines that I have found of use in this condition are carbo-veg, china, mygale-l, sarcolactic acid, natrum-sal etc.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT

No specific treatment is available
A few individuals partially respond to anti-depressant medication
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Deep breathing and walking in fresh air can increase the energy levels.
A well balanced nutritious diet with ample fluids should be taken.
Avoid mental and physical exertion during an acute illness. Try to take proper rest. DO NOT ' pop-a-pill and go-to work' if you are not feeling very well.

Answer 2

My feeling about this is that you aren't getting the right amounts of carbs. Diets often delete carbs completely. This can have some serious effects on the brain. The brain needs a certain amount of carbs as fuel. Without it, people will feel drained, and find it difficult to concentrate. Get some pasta, rice or brown bread into you.

You could be down on vitamins too. Without a certain vitamin or mineral you'll be really tired. Try a multi-vitamin pill to boost you up a bit. Try and eat a good amount of important foods. Diet or no diet. if you are a living creature, you need things.

Not enough fluid intake will cause dehydration of the body and make it floppy too.

I get really tired and sleep for ages from my period, and general every day stress.

Answer 3

How many calories are you intaking? If your not getting the proper nutrients that could be the issue- are you getting enough protein? 40 lbs in a month is pretty extreme, please be careful..

Are you working out as well? If not, you should start some because that boosts your energy believe it or not. Not to mention it revs up your metabolism.

If it continues to get worse, I'd check with your doctor and make sure that this is the right diet for your body- it doesn't sound great from my point of view!

Answer 4

Firstly, how long have you been on the diet for?

Secondly, what are you eating or not eating?

If you have only been on the diet for a short time, you may find that your body is detoxing from all the bad food you may have been eating prior to the diet. You may experience headaches, rashes appearing out of no where, and all over the place and general tiredness, but if these symptoms carry on for too long, you really need to get yourself to the doctor!!!!! I haven't checked out your profile, but if you are a chick, you may even want to have your thyroid gland checked out. Good luck with the diet and hope you feel better soon.

Answer 5

If you're like most people then you've probably immediately done away with milk, cheese, fish, eggs??? This would produce vitamin B12 deficiencys - symptoms being fatigue and exhaustion, headaches and migraines, moodiness and irritability, dizzy spells, constipation, insomnia, inability to concentrate, nausea and vomiting, tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, numbness and even chest pain and palpitations!! All these symptoms can be really debilitating and worse still, scary if you don't realise the damage you are doing simply by not getting enought B vitamins in your diet.

Either supplement your diet with a multi B vitamin supplement. Blackmores do a really good one. Executive Stress mega B supplements or eat more foods rich in B12

Organ meats such as lambs fry andkidneys, milk, cheese, eggs and fish.

GOOD LUCK

CHEERS

Answer 6

Calories are a fuel for our bodies and when you're giving your body less calories than needed for daily routine, your body shows danger signs to let you know that you're damaging your vital organs. its great that you lost 40 lbs in a month, i think its almost a miracle. but plz take atleast the required amount of calories per day or you'll damage your internal organs. Now tht you've lost all that weight, why don't you just maintain it with exercise and a healthy diet. Good Luck.

Answer 7

The problem is you aren't supplying your body with the energy it needs, when it needs it. While exercise is always important, most people who feel this way during the middle of the day feel that way because of poor nutritional habits or strict diets.

Calories are simply a unit of energy, and your body requires energy all day. If you are about to fall asleep at your desk, that is your signal that you haven't given your body proper nutrition and energy, so your blood sugar levels have gotten low.

The best thing to do to keep your blood sugar levels consistent all day is to eat smaller, more frequent meals/snacks throughout the day.

You should eat something (not junk food, you have to make good choices) every 3 to 3.5 hours. This gives your body a regular supply of calories, and your energy levels will be the same at 10 AM as they are at 2 PM as they are at 7 PM.

Also, this is the best technique if you want to lose body fat by the way. When you eat only a couple of times per day, you generally take in more calories than your body needs at that time, and any excess calories get stored as fat. Eat smaller portions more frequently and you won't be giving your body more calories than it needs at that time, thus no extra to store as fat.

Answer 8

I would definetly consult a doctor. It might be just an anemia because of the diets. It is important to eat well! It could also be thyroid gland, but then you would feel tired but gain weight.
You do need to eat well.

Answer 9

Maybe you've accidentally cut down on high energy foods. Sometimes, you really need that bit of sugar and fat y'know. Did you consult a professional dietician before going on this diet? Maybe it's about time you did.

Answer 10

Well you're either not eating enough, sleeping too much (10 hours!) , or not exercising like you should.

Balance all of these things out and you'll be fine.

Worst case, you might just have anemia. Go to Doctor.
