A member asked:
Can you tell me more about cfs, neurasthenia and exercise as treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise will help: Neurasthenia is term that goes back to Victorian times. It was associated with a variety of symptoms that are now seen in chronic fatigue syndrome. Regardless of the terminology, exercise can play a very useful role. Exercise can help release endorphins which can improve your energy levels. Start out with low impact (biking/swimming) for 30/40" day 3x week. Do yoga/Tai chi on alternate days.
