Well, hello brainfog! It’s sort of ironic that a post about being tired was published just of the time when I was pretty tired and subsequently pretty forgetful. Because I forgot to post it here!

Anyway! Say hello to my post about chronic fatigue for Mango Health in August. A bit late:

“Ah, fatigue. My old friend. Well, that’s not exactly true — I’d prefer to kick it to the curb, but it sticks around like a leech, draining me of vitality. If you have a chronic illness, you know what I mean. 

Even if you don’t, you’ve probably still experienced low energy levels at one point or another. Think back to the last time you were sick with the flu, for instance, and how exhausting it was to walk a few steps to the bathroom. That’s the kind of tired those of us with chronic fatigue experience every day.

I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and fibromyalgia, both known for coming with a healthy dollop of fatigue. You might say that I have a double whammy of exhaustion. I’ve been tired for so long that I don’t remember what it feels like to have normal levels of energy.”
