Chronic Fatigue
Yes, tiredness can be caused by many things, including stress. However, when your fatigue feels endless, even after getting enough sleep, it could be pointing towards a weakened immune system. Usually, the fatigue is paired with other symptoms, like aching joints, digestive woes, decreased appetite, brain fog, and skin conditions.
“These are non-specific symptoms that suggest the body is run down, and in some cases, your immune system is fighting against your own organs…known as an autoimmune condition,” says Dr. Tania Elliott. If this sounds like a possibility for you, or if your family history includes autoimmune diseases, it’s best to make an appointment with your doctor.
