Currently there is no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome. Current treatment focuses on symptom relief. “The most troublesome or disabling symptoms are typically addressed first,” Nath says.
Common ways to manage chronic fatigue syndrome is to schedule activities that take into account energy levels that can help relieve some stress that the illness puts on people.
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, cognitive behavior therapy and exercise that gradually increases over time have been shown to moderately improve fatigue levels, help patients with their day-to-day activities and manage anxiety and post-exertional malaise.
