	Fatigue (physical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fatigue is ubiquitous in everyday life, but usually becomes particularly noticeable during heavy exercise.
		Fatigue has two known forms; one manifests as a local, muscle-specific incapacity to do work, and the other manifests as an overall, bodily or systemic, sense of energy deprivation.
		Central Fatigue The central component to fatigue is generally described in terms of a reduction in the neural drive or nerve-based motor command to working muscles that results in a decline in the force output (Gandevia, 2001; Kay et al., 2001; Kent-Braun, 1999; Vandewalle et al., 1991).

		A working party set up by the chief medical officer (CMO) had laboured for three years to produce a report, which concluded that, far from being a malingerer's charter, CFS should be recognised as a chronic and treatable condition.
		Dr Kenny Meirlier, at the Fatigue Clinic in Brussels, for instance, focuses on the immune system; specifically, a sequence of chemical changes that take place in our white blood cells when they are fighting off a viral infection, known as the "RNaseL" pathway.
		He's found evidence that in CFS patients, the key enzyme involved in breaking down the invading virus and destroying the infected cell is only half its normal molecular weight.

		Democracy Project's Bruce Kesler has an interesting post up in which he argues with his usual direct, no-nonsense approach that folks like me on the Right - whom he believes are talking about sitting out the 2006 election - are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.
		Referring to yours truly as well as Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters and Professor Stephen Bainbridge, Bruce opines that we suffer as a result of being "worn down by defending difficult positions at the forefront of the battle against irredentist Democrats in Congress and their fifth-column in the media."
		Bruce is not alone in thinking my view that the GOP has forfeited conservative support is in error, as Powerline's Paul Mirengoff also posted earlier this week a thoughtful and direct response to an editorial I wrote in The Washington Examiner that encapsulates the conservative dissatisfaction with Bush and the GOP.
