Fatigue



Fatigue is a set of physical and mental symptoms that can be brought on by extreme exertion or illness. Unlike normal tiredness, fatigue can feel like it seeps in “body and soul,” expressing itself as chronic tiredness or sleepiness, sore or aching muscles, brain fog, irritability, headaches, or dizziness that can’t be resolved by a simple good night’s sleep. Fatigue can be a result of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and illness—or a combination of all three. We must isolate and address the causes of our fatigue to truly find rest.
