Fatigue causes
Does anyone else feel like mental exertion effects fatigue more than physical? I go to the gym & I’m usually fine but if I sit down & have to do my taxes I’m going to be in bed the rest of the day.

Absolutely. I tried to work from home as much as I can but it is not always possible. Yesterday I went in, it wasn't even a particularly stressful day, but I am really feeling the exhaustion today... Yesterday I got home and went straight to bed but the sleep didn't help much. I'm starting to worry that it is my job environment that is actually making my symptoms worse... Take care!
Yep! It’s the same for me. Cognitive fatigue rather than physical fatigue. I can do a work out and feel fine afterwards, but writing a grocery list for the week wipes me out 🙄
