Fatigue

You sleep — and wake up exhausted. You rest — and the heaviness remains. You take a weekend off, go on vacation, switch off as best you can — and still feel that pull in every bone, that dead weight in your limbs, that deep inability to truly wake up again. This is no longer ordinary tiredness. It's something you can no longer sleep away.

Medicine will ask about iron levels, about the thyroid, about vitamin D, about sleep quality. All legitimate, all important, all may be part of the picture. But very often, when all your numbers are fine and the exhaustion persists anyway, a different question arises — one that no blood test can answer: What in your life is draining you, without you admitting it?
