Is IV Therapy a Cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

IV Therapy

Is IV Therapy a Cure for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Research shows more Canadians are affected by chronic fatigue syndrome than may have been previously believed.

Around 560,000 Canadians have been reported to suffer with chronic fatigue syndrome (AKA myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly-referred to as ME). This is an increase of more than 35 percent on the results of a previous survey in 2014.

But what is chronic fatigue syndrome, how does it affect the body, and is IV therapy a cure?

Chronic Fatigue Symptoms

Chronic fatigue syndrome causes symptoms such as:

  • Feeling extreme fatigue, despite being well-rested
  • Weakened concentration
  • Issues with short-term memory
  • Muscular discomfort
  • Nausea following exertion, typically the day after exercising or undertaking strenuous work
  • Joint pain
  • Swollen glands
  • Sore throat

What Causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

While there’s no concrete explanation for what causes chronic fatigue syndrome, experts believe the following causes may be to blame:

  • Bacterial infections, including pneumonia
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Genetic predisposition to chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Issues related to the immune system
  • Mental health difficulties may contribute to ME, too, such as stress
  • Viral infections like glandular fever or herpes
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome is most common in people more than 40 years old

Anyone affected by chronic fatigue syndrome can find their life transformed entirely. Work may become much more difficult to manage, especially if it involves heavy lifting or other physical exertion. High-stress careers might become impossible to resume, too.

Leaving employment is a serious problem, particularly for those with children or other dependents to support. Quality of life may be affected overall, which can lead to depression and feelings of social isolation.

Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Various treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome are available, including:

  • Medicine for feelings of nausea, discomfort, and issues with sleeping
  • Graded exercise therapy (GET), which involves exercising to enhance physical capabilities (usually walking, swimming, or other activities)
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), during which an expert helps patients accept their chronic fatigue syndrome, identify problem behaviors that may make symptoms worse, and aim to achieve a more positive perspective

IV therapy is another option for people affected by chronic fatigue syndrome. But how does this work and what help does it offer?

Understanding IV Therapy and its Benefits

IV therapy has gained traction in recent years. While it’s long been a common treatment in hospitals and medical centers, IV therapy is now a popular choice for people looking to give their system a boost.

It’s recommended for numerous conditions, such as dehydration, migraines, and vitamin deficiencies — not to mention hangovers.

An expert inserts a needle into the patient’s body and connects them to a drip. A fluid is fed into the body intravenously, providing a healthy dose of specific vitamins and nutrients.

IV therapy lasts between 45 minutes and one hour on average. Patients are typically free to entertain themselves by reading, listening to music, or even talking during that time.

People who lead busy lives, fail to eat a healthy diet, and feel rundown generally may use IV therapy to feel reinvigorated. However, experts will discuss the individual’s health and determine the right IV treatment for their specific needs.

They may undertake IV therapy on a regular basis to keep themselves feeling better overall. But research shows IV therapy can make a positive impact on those affected by chronic fatigue syndrome, too.

How IV Therapy can Help People Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

IV therapy can be used to administer a huge range of different fluids into the body. As these formulas can consist of numerous beneficial ingredients, specialists may provide those affected by chronic fatigue syndrome with a boost of vitamins and nutrients to ease their symptoms.

In a study published in Naturopathic Doctor News & Review, two patients struggling with ME and fibromyalgia displayed clear improvements after undergoing IV therapy.

The drips’ ingredients varied. One patient received a mix made up of vitamin C, potassium, sodium chloride, and more. The other was given a solution comprising magnesium sulfate, B complex, saline, and other ingredients.

Both patients’ IV therapy was personalized to make the maximum impact on their systems and manage their symptoms as effectively as possible. The results may have taken a few days to bring tangible benefits, yet the improvements were clear to see.

One patient noticed a reduction in their joint and muscular pain, while once-daily headaches became less common. The second patient experienced less pain, which was aided by their decision to cut gluten from their diet.

The fluids used in IV therapy may need to be reassessed and altered based on the patient’s response. In one case from the aforementioned study, the individual’s condition improved after the mix was changed slightly for subsequent sessions.

As IV therapy continues to increase in popularity, it’s likely that further studies into its effect on those with chronic fatigue syndrome will be undertaken. This will help experts provide an even-higher standard of treatment to patients in need of relief down the line.
