Hormonal Health
Find answers to common questions about hormone imbalances, menopause, thyroid health, and how hormonal shifts impact your body and mood.
The exact cause of chronic fatigue isn’t fully understood, and it’s likely that several factors are at play. For some, it may follow a viral infection like Epstein-Barr or COVID-19. For others, it could be related to immune system issues, hormonal imbalances (like thyroid dysfunction), sleep disorders, or psychological stress. Interestingly, many patients—especially women—experience chronic fatigue in conjunction with hormonal changes, such as those during perimenopause or menopause. It's important to look at each person’s case individually to identify possible triggers.
Great question! Chronic fatigue is much more than just feeling tired after a long day. While regular tiredness usually improves with rest or a good night's sleep, chronic fatigue persists for six months or more and doesn’t go away with rest. It often comes with a range of other symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, headaches, and unrefreshing sleep. The key difference is duration, severity, and the impact on daily life. Chronic fatigue can significantly disrupt work, relationships, and overall quality of life.
