Understand your fatigue. Find a clearer path forward.

Persistent fatigue can make ordinary tasks feel difficult. A comprehensive assessment considers symptom patterns, health history and everyday factors without assuming a single cause.

Looking at the whole picture

Fatigue has a story.
Start with yours.

Explore how cells produce energy, then consider sleep, daily rhythms, activity and health history as parts of a fuller picture of fatigue.

Explore the illustration

Outer membrane

A mitochondrion is a small structure inside a cell. Its outer membrane surrounds the organelle.

Inner membrane & folds

The inner membrane forms folds called cristae. Proteins in this membrane participate in producing ATP, a molecule cells use to transfer energy.

Matrix

The space enclosed by the inner membrane is the matrix, where several metabolic reactions take place. This is one part of cellular energy production.

Energy in everyday life

01 / Body clock

Energy has a daily rhythm.

Circadian rhythms help coordinate sleep and wakefulness across roughly 24 hours. Light and darkness are important signals, and patterns of alertness differ between people.

For your consultation

How does your energy change across the day, and how does that relate to your sleep timing?

Helpful context

Cellular energy production and feeling fatigued are not the same measurement. Fatigue has many possible contributors; this illustration does not diagnose mitochondrial dysfunction.

02 / Sleep & rest

Look beyond hours in bed.

Consider your sleep routine, how restorative sleep feels and how fatigue changes throughout the day.

For your consultation

When do you feel most rested, and when does fatigue affect you most?

Helpful context

This is one part of the assessment, not an explanation for every experience of fatigue.

03 / Nutrition & routine

Understand the everyday context.

Eating patterns and daily routines are considered alongside health history and existing results.

For your consultation

What does a typical day look like for meals, rest and responsibilities?

Helpful context

The conversation starts with your circumstances rather than a standard supplement plan.

04 / Activity & recovery

Notice the response to activity.

Discuss what happens during activity and afterwards, including symptoms that worsen after exertion.

For your consultation

Does activity affect how you feel later that day or in the days that follow?

Helpful context

For people with ME/CFS, NICE advises against programmes with fixed increases in activity. Support needs to reflect individual capacity.

05 / Health history

Connect the relevant information.

Bring the timing of symptoms, previous assessments, current treatments and existing results into one conversation.

For your consultation

When did the fatigue begin, and what changed around that time?

Helpful context

This helps identify questions for assessment without assuming one universal cause.

Who is this for?

  • Persistent or recurring fatigue affecting everyday activities
  • Waking unrefreshed or struggling to concentrate
  • Feeling worse after physical or mental effort
  • Fatigue that began after an illness
  • Uncertainty about symptoms despite previous medical review

Common questions

Will I be told to exercise more?

Activity advice should reflect your symptoms. If effort makes you worse, bring that to the assessment. Fixed increases in exercise are not appropriate for ME/CFS.

Does fatigue mean I have ME/CFS?

Fatigue can have different explanations. ME/CFS requires a specific assessment, including the pattern of symptoms and consideration of other possible causes.

Do I need a standard set of tests?

Testing depends on your history, symptoms and existing results. Discuss what further assessment is needed with the clinician responsible for your medical care.

What if my symptoms change?

New or worsening symptoms need reassessment. Seek emergency care for new chest pain, severe breathlessness or collapse.
