I’ve had (been diagnosed with it) since 2009, so I get this a LOT. It’s really frustrating, because people hear “fatigue” and associate it with “tired” when in reality they’re two very different things. Just like you can be “tired” and not want to sleep, you can still be tired and not fatigued.
ETA: because I thought hitting enter would take me…Read More
