My mother had chronic fatigue syndrome. I used to have it for over 10 years.
For my experience, I can tell you it is a genetic/nutritional problem. I’m was helping researcher at Stanford With parts of a study and they are looking at the metabolics of this from a point of nutrition and genetics. Specifically Manganese and a gene called GCH1. But I have a feeling other nutrient deficiencies and genes can causes it as well, such as possibly zinc, B6, as well as iron.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAs engineers, we're used to a clean separation between cause and effect. In medicine, the separation between symptom and disease is far more grey. There's a push to call CFS "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis". I know two people with ME/CFS which have several clear indications that it is post-viral (but years before COVID). As an engineer, I model it in my head as "ME is the disease, and CFS is the symptoms". I'd say that you had CFS as the symptoms with a different cause than my friends. But the medical field doesn't think like I do as an engineer, mostly because the line between symptom and disease is much more grey and unknwon.
