Relive the EDS ECHO Summit: Fatigue
Around three-quarters of people with a type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) report some degree of persistent fatigue. Persistent or chronic fatigue is the medical term used to describe extreme tiredness or a lack of energy that prevents a person from functioning normally. Chronic is the term used when fatigue is persistent for more than six months – it may be constant, have bad days and better days, or keep recurring – all with a marked impact on a person’s quality of life.
The main symptom is tiredness, but it is much more than the normal tiredness that every person experiences. People with persistent fatigue often describe it as a total exhaustion of every muscle in their body and/or ‘brain fog’ i.e., problems with concentration, thinking, and memory.
