Chronic exhaustion or excessive fatigue disorder

You might be suffering from exhaustion if you feel the following:
Tired all the time.
Trouble getting up in the morning.
Depending on artificial stimulants like tea, coffee or colas to keep going.
Feeling run down and stressed.
Every day seems too long.
Struggling to keep up with life's daily demands.
Taking a long time to recover from illness.
Not having fun any more. Decreased sex drive.
Too tired to enjoy life.

Excessive fatigue disorder has three defining characteristics:

excessive fatigue, weakness, and lack of energy,
Irritability
Feeling demoralized

Personalized treatment usually needs to be customized to every exhausted individual. The first step is the removal of the initial stressors, detoxification, and treatment to balance your mental health. Also varied remedies aimed at relieving specific symptoms like insomnia, depression and digestive problems is also advised.
Mental exhaustion is a state you reach mentally when you get to a point where you have no answers or solutions to deal with or resolve the stresses you feel in your life.
Excessive exhaustion may lead to cardiac failure, blood pressure, depressed mood, lowered self-esteem and guilt feelings and is also associated with increased levels of insulin.

Group discussions, yoga,anger management,active participation in reducing the level of mental stress or strain would reduce exhaustion as well as the risk of cardiac failure.

Chronic exhaustion may be due to underlying physical disease, chronic viral infection, kidney or heart failure and muscle and joint disease and needs to be excluded in any who feel their energy levels are too low. Tiredness is also a side effect of many medications - beta-blockers and some of those used to treat epilepsy are major culprits. If all possible physical causes of lack of energy are excluded, than the underlying cause might be psychological.

Often the causes of excessive fatigue are more mental than physical. A bad relationship, poor self image, a history of abuse, stress, frustration and many other factors can change your overall attitude towards life which may directly impede your overall performance. Such tendencies are deep-rooted in mind and nurtured by excessive negative emotions.

I beat eczema twice

Hello People
A major reason why I started this blog is because I am a natural born highly strung person.If there is a new stress related ailment out there I will find it and get it.This blog helps me to keep track of new cures and advice because I am constantly looking for sources in order for me to post blogs that you might find interesting and helpful.But to come to the point the following is from my own experience.I had eczema from 1992 to 1996.Really bad ezcema where my hands got so infected that there was pus filled infections at every one of my knuckles.I tried to analyse what caused this and the main difference was that I had a new job in an area with a lot of industries and there was a lot of pollution.I could not give up my job so I tried to find other ways to get rid of it.Stay away from raw potatoes because peeling potatoes will make ezcema worse.Avoid red meat.This is apparently due to the extra adrenalin that surges through cows before they get slaughtered.Avoid dust and dirt.Do not do dishes without gloves.So the symptoms would disappear for a while and then come back.I am anaemic so I had to have meat sometimes so the ezcema worse.I then went to the coast and swam in the sea and hey,presto,my eczema just disappeared from one day to the next.I must also say that that same period ended a very stressful time in my life so it was either the seaweed or that.But it took 4 years.For years after that I had gotten so used to hiding my hands that in meetings with the boss I always had my hands under the table even though they were now fine.Anyway fast forward to the present and another trip to the coast in June 2008 and the eczema came back this time on my feet.Really gross!!! I was lucky this time because I got this piece of advice.Use a few teaspoon fuls of bicarbonate of soda in your bath water for a month.I promise you with all my heart that this worked so well.My eczema is gone again but at least I only had it for 3 months this time.I still maintain that eczema is stress related and if you manage your stress better that eczema will stay away.Getting eczema is a sign that you stress a lot and its the only way that your body can get rid of the adrenalin.I hope this helps you and please try the bicarbonate of soda tip.It really works.
