Fatigue This has been one of the more common and difficult to address patient complaints. People report feeling profoundly tired all the time or most of the time; this is often accompanied by “mental fog,” body aches and other symptoms. There is a wide range of conditions that can manifest as fatigue, these include anemia, thyroid abnormalities, vitamin deficiencies due to poor diet or intestinal malabsorption, infections such as mononucleosis and Lyme disease, Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, sleep disturbances, stress and depression. In addition, allergies and unhealthy environmental and dietary exposures can play a role. Checking for molds, presence of potentially toxic chemicals in the environment and diet (for some people artificial colors, flavors and preservatives in processed foods), recent dental treatments, checking quality of water can all be part of this exploration. Things can definitely be improved and one should maintain an optimistic outlook, while trying the various treatments and changing overall life conditions for the better.
