b'Chapter 10 FATIGUEFatigue is a feeling of constant weakness that can be physical, mental or a combination of both. It can affect anyone, and most adults will experience this feeling at some point in their lives.Fatigue is a symptom, not a condition. For many people, fatigue is caused by a combination of the lifestyle, social, psychological, and general wellness issues rather than an underlying medical condition.Although fatigue is sometimes described as a lack of strength and energy, it is different from feeling weak or drowsy.Everyone feels tired at some point, but this is usually resolved with a nap or a few nights of good sleep. A drowsy person may also feel temporarily refreshed after physical or mental exercise.If you get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise regularly, but still have trouble performingyourdailyactivities,concentrating,orbeingmotivatedatyour normal level, you may be feeling fatigue that requires further analysis.308Germain Decelles'
