Chronic Fatigue: Common Causes

Chronic Fatigue | Piedmont PMR

Chronic fatigue, while often associated with lack of healthy sleep, can stem from a variety of causes such as chronic disease, poor nutrition/gastric absorption, and environmental issues. At Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA, we follow a simple recipe to relieve chronic fatigue. It is called “reducing total load,” which refers to reducing the total number of things that prevent a healthy lifestyle along with a true desire to get to the root cause of your problem. A reduction in total load can be accomplished by eating healthier, getting more exercise, or reducing stress in other ways.

Patients with JHS often experience fatigue and chronic widespread pain in the knees, fingers, hips, and elbows.
