Understanding Chronic Fatigue
Living with chronic fatigue can be confusing and isolating. Here’s what it means, how it affects daily life, and how our community can help.
What Is Chronic Fatigue?
Chronic Fatigue is a debilitating condition which can occur as a result of many illnesses – for example, ME, Fibromyalgia, or Long Covid.
It can cause extreme tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest, often alongside other symptoms that affect both body and mind.
Living With Chronic Fatigue
Living with Chronic Fatigue can be confusing, overwhelming, and very isolating. Many people struggle when they find themselves unable to do what they could do in the past.
It can affect every part of life including physical and emotional health, relationships, mental wellbeing, family life, employment, and studies.
For more information about Chronic Fatigue please visit the ME Association website.
Understanding and Coping
Understanding and coping with Chronic Fatigue – whether for yourself or someone you know – is essential to ensure that life can still be meaningful.
Many organisations have informative websites, but local peer support is invaluable.
