STORY & REFLECTION
Still tired after rest
Guidance-based illustration · Still tired after rest
Illustrative scene: Someone takes a day off and returns just as tired, then tells themselves they only need to try harder.
They note when it began, how they have slept, and which tasks became harder, then arrange a medical conversation.
The NIA suggests noting when symptoms began, their frequency, whether they changed, and how they affect daily life. A medicine list also helps the visit. Preparing a short note before an appointment can keep an important concern from being forgotten during a brief conversation.
Seeking assessment means taking symptoms seriously.
Reflection
Persistent fatigue deserves assessment.
A small action today

A question to reflect on
How long has the fatigue lasted, and what has it changed?
