Luckily, it's nowhere near as severe as my last just incredibly uncomfortable and is making work and study difficult. I'm also going to be starting my DMDs soon, I'm going to ...

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.
