Myalgic encephalomyelitis is characterized by extreme fatigue lasting at least six months, which worsens after physical or mental exertion and is not adequately relieved by rest. In addition to fatigue, patients often report difficulties with concentration, memory problems, sleep disturbances, and muscle pain.
Diagnosis of ME/CFS
The diagnosis of ME/CFS cannot be made with a single specific test; instead, it requires a personalized approach and a comprehensive analysis of the body’s condition. The process begins with laboratory tests, including complete blood count, biochemical analyses, virological tests, and hormonal status evaluation. These data enable physicians to identify potential causes, such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or other factors contributing to the development of chronic fatigue.
Special attention is also given to assessing burnout syndrome, which often accompanies chronic fatigue, especially in individuals exposed to prolonged stress. This evaluation helps determine whether psychological and physical exhaustion is present, which may further worsen the condition.
An individualized treatment plan is essential
Based on the results of laboratory analyses and detailed consultations with physicians, an individualized treatment plan is created. The therapy may include oral or intravenous supplementation tailored to the body's specific needs. Infusion cocktails often contain essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and substances such as:
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) – a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress and supports cellular regeneration.
NAC (N-acetylcysteine) – stimulates glutathione production and supports detoxification.
Sodium ascorbate – strengthens the immune system and helps reduce inflammation.
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) – supports energy metabolism and enhances vitality.
In addition to supplementation, lifestyle changes are strongly recommended, including a nutrient-rich balanced diet, regular physical activity tailored to the patient's condition, stress management techniques, and quality sleep. A holistic therapeutic approach helps establish biochemical and hormonal balance, contributing to overall well-being.
By monitoring progress through follow-up analyses and adjusting therapy, chronic fatigue syndrome and stress can be significantly alleviated. This personalized approach offers patients hope for a better quality of life and the restoration of functional balance between body and mind.
