Chronic Fatigue Syndrome vs. “I Get Tired, Too”
We all get tired. It’s part of life, and especially part of modern life.
Think for a moment about the last time you were really tired at work. It’s harder to focus, harder to function, but you can push through it.
Now think back to the last time you were really sick with something like strep or the flu — too sick to work, and too sick to function. Can you remember how exhausted you were, how hard it was to get out of bed and even take a shower? When you’re sick like that, it’s like your body just shuts down and demands that you rest.
