Chronic fatigue syndrome: Does the thyroid play a role?

Chronic fatigue syndrome remains mysterious to both healthcare professionals and researchers, who have so far been unable to pinpoint its underlying causes. A new study reveals that there may be a link between the condition and having low thyroid hormone levels.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 836,000 and 2.5 million people in the United States might currently live with chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS), which is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis.

CFS is characterized by an overwhelming sense of fatigue, which may also be accompanied by pain, dizziness, and impaired concentration.

Despite the fact that this condition is often tied to significantly decreased quality of life, many people do not get an official diagnosis, and those who do might not always receive adequate treatment; the causes of CFS are still unknown.

That is why research about CFS is ongoing, with investigators striving to uncover the underlying biological mechanisms that characterize this condition.
