What Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Actually Is — and Why Most Treatment Falls Short
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) affects an estimated 836,000 to 2.5 million Americans, with the majority misdiagnosed or inadequately treated. It is characterized by profound fatigue unrelieved by rest, post-exertional malaise, unrestorative sleep, cognitive dysfunction, and widespread pain.
ME/CFS doesn't belong to a single specialty. It involves dysautonomia, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial impairment, and immune dysregulation simultaneously. No single medication addresses all of these dimensions — which is precisely why Active Health's multi-disciplinary Pain Control Clinic model is uniquely positioned to help Jacksonville CFS patients where fragmented conventional care has fallen short.
