Medical Causes of Fatigue

According to the health magazine i am reading, some of the common medical causes in in women for fatigue are the following:

  • Anemia – which is caused by lack of iron in the blood.  This is the primary medical explanation for fatigue in women of childbearing age.
  • Thyroid disease, which may affect up to 10% of women.  Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty losing weight, extremely dry skin and hair, and sensitivity to cold.
  • Depression, which an underdiagnosed  condition among women, says Dr. Moskowitz.  Fortunately there are now more options available than ever to treat it.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).  Symptoms include: severe fatigue lasting for more than six months that does not improve with rest, impaired memory and thought processes, pain, and sleep difficulties.  Although CFS gets a lot of media attention, according to Dr. Robyn Goshorn only about one in 375 people has the disease.

If i do a self diagnosis,  i would pick depression but as am often reading about CFS, i am having second thoughts — maybe i fall for that too. This is not a joke problem for me.  I kept on gaining weight although i don’t eat much.  But if i go out with friends who loves to eat like there is no more tomorrow then i need best appetite suppressant so that i wont’ add more weight.
