What are symptoms of chronic fatigue?

Most people suffer from several symptoms. And while the biggest symptom is obviously being tired, you can also suffer from other symptoms. These are the most common symptoms you may have if you are chronically tired:

  • Persistent fatigue;
  • Sleep problems;
  • Concentration problems or brain fog;
  • Muscle and joint pain;
  • Headaches;
  • Exacerbation of symptoms after exercise (PEM);
  • Intestinal complaints;
  • Sensitivity to stimuli;
  • Dizziness;
  • Weak immune system.

What is the cause of chronic fatigue?

The cause is not always demonstrable. In fact, it can arise from a wide range of aspects. For example, many people suffer from chronic fatigue after burnout, or as a result of corona or another virus. These are some other possible causes:

  • Hormonal imbalance;
  • Sleep disorders;
  • Nutrient deficiency;
  • Poor blood circulation.

The causes vary widely, so it is not possible to say for sure exactly what can trigger it. If you figure out the cause, then it is easier to draw up a treatment plan. In addition, intranasal red light therapy is a fine tool for any cause. This is possible, for example, with this laser from IN-light.

Tips to live more happily with chronic fatigue

1. Listen to your body

Dealing with chronic fatigue has a lot to do with listening to your body. Don't force yourself, get enough rest and take time to ‘refuel’. Plan your to-do's smartly and make sure you have enough resting moments during the day.

2. Create a steady rhythm

Establish a routine that makes you happy and is maintainable. This helps your body use energy more sparingly, making it possible to recover faster. For example, get up at set times and try to sleep in time for enough sleep.

3. Avoid stress

Stress worsens fatigue symptoms and can cause hormone imbalances. Therefore, try relaxation techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises or yoga.

4. Eat nutritious and varied food

Eat meals that contain enough protein, healthy fats and vitamins. This can actually keep your energy levels up. In addition, iron, B12 and magnesium are especially important if you are often tired.

5. Exercise enough, but at your own pace

Get plenty of exercise for as long as you can handle it. It is important to walk or perhaps stretch regularly to keep your energy up. Intensive sports like running might be exhausting, but above all, feel what your body needs.

6. Ask for help

Although many people find this difficult, it is always useful to ask for help. If you are too tired to do household chores, discuss with your family members how to divide it better. Always indicate what you can and cannot do.

7. Make use of red light therapy

Whatever the underlying cause, red light therapy is always a fine treatment method for chronic fatigue. This is because it can improve blood flow, increase energy production in cells and reduce inflammation. This can all lead to you having more energy and making your body and immune system stronger.

Does red light therapy work for chronic fatigue?

Red light therapy can be a good treatment for chronic fatigue. Here we are talking about intranasal therapy, which allows you to support your entire body through the nasal mucosa. This stimulates energy production, resulting in more energy.

Intranasal red light therapy can help with:

  • More energy through stimulation of mitochondria,
  • Less inflammation;
  • Improved blood flow, for better oxygen and nutrient transport throughout the body;
  • Better sleep quality by supporting melatonin production;
  • Less brain fog.
