After completing her post-graduate degree in music, Lucy lost her motivation for performing it even though she still loved playing the piano and singing arias. Her body was stopping and forcing her to sit and sleep all day. She lost her mental clarity showing symptoms of brain fog.

Her family doctor couldn't find any obvious reasons. Her blood tests showed a standard range of the population. She finally convinced her physician to refer her to specialists for further investigation. Each specialist in a different area depicted a new perspective. Lucy's chronic fatigue was like an onion with multiple layers. Addressing each layer holistically solved the problem.

We all get tired naturally. Daily biological, psychological, and environmental factors cause energy blockage. However, chronic fatigue syndrome is beyond tiredness. It is a health condition. Even though we might look healthy from the outset, we might have underlying factors affecting our energy levels. Some people use unnatural ways to boost energy. However, those solutions are not sustainable.

My purpose in this article is to share ten steps that helped Lucy address her chronic fatigue syndrome with the help of several medical specialists, including a psychotherapist. Each person's fatigue can be different. I hope this holistic approach can provide valuable insights in understanding this condition and seek advice from qualified healthcare professionals. Awareness is critical to solving problems, so is taking personal responsibility.
