Hey everyone,

For many of us living with a chronic illness, fatigue is just part of life. Whether it’s from treatments or the illness itself, feeling constantly tired can make even the simplest daily tasks feel overwhelming.

How do you deal with this ongoing fatigue? Do you have any tricks to hold onto your energy and prevent burnout?

Maybe you’ve found ways to take breaks throughout the day, manage your energy better, or organize your routine to avoid exhaustion. Whatever works for you, your tips could be really helpful to others in the community who are struggling with the same thing.

We’d love to hear how you cope with chronic fatigue and what helps you keep going! 💬✨

Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

I love to be active but sometimes it makes fatigue much worse. Only way even on good days is to do small amounts and rest, so on. Really good to hear of tips others map have

For me, the best way to fight fatigue is by pushing myself. Just this week, to comply with state law, I walked home and back, to have my car inspected. Then, after picking up my car, I put out the fifth barrel of Beryl debris, from my back yard.

Now, before I can even consider the chronic fatigue, I am already reminding myself, this is only meters, not kilometers. None the less, I am glad it only happens once a year; and, hopefully, two major storms, one month apart, never again.

The older I get the tireder I get although not a great sleeper at night probably doesn't help

Apparently magnesium supplements help :) although that might be a placebo effect

@gmorlet magnesium helps me with fatigue but more so, just getting a full nights sleep. Also apple cider vinegar. I ran out recently and was shocked at how fatigued I felt. Sometimes the little things can make a big difference

I think for me it is doing some tasks and then a little rest...I have found when I feel good I can keep going and do too much and then the next day I am absolutely burned out

My heart failure and kidney failure are starting to feel real . I always denied I had anything wrong with me. But just recently breathlessness and fatigue have knocked me side ways. Along with the constant scratching till it bleeds on my head back and front of my chest. The meds I'm on are ridiculous 12different tablets
