Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which is sometimes also referred to as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E. or ME), is an autoimmune illness characterized by prolonged, devastating fatigue. A new study may provide hope for those who suffer from this disabling condition. According to researcher M. Edmonds with the Cochrane Collaboration research group, patients who participated in a three-month program of exercise therapy that consisted of 30-minute exercise sessions several times a week had improvement in both their energy levels and their quality of life.
Addendum: Many patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome suffer from exercise intolerance. Therefore, be sure to see Dr. Lapp’s response to this study.
