Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Excercise?


Has anyone with CFS tried excercise to relieve their symptoms? I beat my fibro this way and have just started excercising again in the hopes that it will help the CFS as well.

Anyone know of any good research studies that back up or refute this theory?

I don't know of any studies per se but I have mild anemia so get tired a lot but have found that just forcing myself to exercise gives me more energy and, more importantly, puts me in a much better mood. I would say to exercise as much as possible, and for mental health try for "spiritual" exercises--by that I mean things such as hiking outdoors, running on the beach, mountain biking, going for a long walk with a dog--vs. just staying inside a gym on a treadmill.

Exercise makes my CFIDS worse. See http://www.fms-help.com/fatigue.htm - also http://www.fms-help.com/trying.htm

Many people with CFS can't exercise much. Most can do the exercise but go into a flare where they can hardly function a couple of days later. A site that has a good library and message board about CFS is ProHealth.com. You should be able to find articles there.
