YOUR FATIGUE SELF-CHECK RESULTS
The Fatigue Clinic may or may not be your next step. But your fatigue is still worth understanding.
You answered “yes” to some of the experiences in this assessment, but fewer of them matched the pattern we commonly see in people seeking more comprehensive fatigue care.
That doesn't mean your fatigue isn't real, important, or worth evaluating.
It simply means this short self-check can't tell us whether our clinic is the right next step for you.
Fatigue has a very large differential.
Sometimes the answer is straightforward.
Sometimes the problem is sleep, a medication, iron deficiency, thyroid disease, an infection, depression, substance use, another medical condition, or simply not getting enough recovery.
And sometimes fatigue becomes more complicated than that.
The important thing is not to assume that every tired person has the same problem.
If your fatigue is new, rapidly worsening, or hasn't yet had a basic medical evaluation, your usual healthcare clinician is generally the best place to start.
But if you're curious about why humans get tired and how physicians think through persistent fatigue, you're very welcome here.
Want to learn what can cause fatigue?
I'm building an evidence-based library about fatigue, from the common and fixable to the complex and poorly understood.
We’ll cover sleep and circadian rhythm, micronutrients, medications, hormones and metabolism, inflammatory disease, mental health, environmental exposures, ME/CFS, long COVID, fibromyalgia, POTS, and much more.
