After pain, fatigue is probably the most common medical complaint. Although not the most common complaint, it is the one that is most ignored. Fatigue is a very strong signal that something is wrong and the body is not able to function well. It may be as simple as a lack of refreshing sleep. However, it may also be imbalances in the endocrine system as a result of too much physical and mental stress. Stress and fatigue follow each other like the sun and the moon. You do not have to spend the next 2-3 decades tired.
