Frequently Asked Questions

Do you see patients with "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"?

General Infectious Diseases Clinic
No, we do not. In 1988, a definitive study by Straus, et al., in the News England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 319, No. 26, pages 1692-1698) showed no link between Epstein-Barr virus and "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." To date, no infectious agent has been substantially shown to be the cause of "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." Hence, we do not follow patients with this disorder in our clinic.

What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A person with CFS feels completely worn-out and overtired. This extreme tiredness makes it hard to do the daily tasks that most of us do without thinking — like dressing, bathing, or eating. Sleep or rest does not make the tiredness go away. It can be made worse by moving, exercising, or even thinking. CFS can happen over time or come on suddenly. People who get CFS over time get more and more tired over weeks or months.

Also, studies show, natural killer (NK) cell function (also dependent on normal cell surface glycoprotein's) was much lower in CFS patients, than patients without CFS. Revivol™ can significantly improve NK cell activity.

Do allergies cause chronic fatigue syndrome?

Allergies per se do not produce fatigue. If you have strong allergic reactions (i.e., sneezing, itchy eyes, and/or wheezing), you might feel fatigued. However, you do not become fatigued from allergies alone - only from the degree of symptoms they produce. It is worth noting, however, that in one study, people with chronic fatigue syndrome had a higher incidence of allergy than the population as a whole. Whether or not this has any significance is not known.

What is "dumping syndrome"?

When large amounts of high-calorie foods (especially those containing sugar) pass quickly from the stomach pouch into the intestine, fluid rushes into the small intestine to dilute the high concentration of sugar. The patient may feel faint, break out in a cold sweat, and have intestinal cramps followed by diarrhea. Fortunately, "dumping syndrome" can be averted simply by the patient avoiding high intakes of sweets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bariatric Surgery
Eating sugars or other foods containing many small particles when you have an empty stomach can cause dumping syndrome in patients who have had a gastric bypass or BPD where the stomach pylorus is removed. Your body handles these small particles by diluting them with water, which reduces blood volume and causes a shock-like state. Sugar may also induce insulin shock due to the altered physiology of your intestinal tract.

What is the difference between fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome?

Fibromyalgia
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and FM are alike in many ways. In fact, it is not uncommon for a person to have both FM and CFS. Some experts believe that FM and CFS are in fact the same disorder, but expressed in slightly different ways. Both CFS and FM have pain and fatigue as symptoms. The main symptom of CFS is extreme tiredness. CFS often begins after having flu-like symptoms. But people with CFS do not have the tender points that people with FM have.
