Chronic fatigue

What is chronic fatigue?

Chronic fatigue is a complex medical condition characterized by extreme and persistent tiredness, fatigue, or exhaustion that is not improved by rest and lasts for at least 6 months. This debilitating fatigue significantly interferes with normal activities and work.

The key defining symptoms of chronic fatigue include:

• Long-term fatigue that lasts 6 months or longer


• Mental and physical exhaustion after minimal activity


• Brain fog, problems with memory and concentration


• Unrefreshing sleep or insomnia

Some common causes of chronic fatigue include:

• Viral infections like mononucleosis


• Immune system disorders

• Hormonal imbalances

If you struggle with constant tiredness, I recommend getting your hormone levels checked by an endocrinologist or visiting a hormone wellness clinic like Vitality Hormone Center that specializes in fatigue and exhaustion relief through natural bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Custom compounded BHRT that is plant-based and identical to your body's hormones can help restore optimal hormonal balance, reenergize your system, resolve fatigue issues and give you back your zest for life!
