	Fatigue (physical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The development of fatigue is characterised by an initial, disproportionate increase in the perception of effort required to maintain or increase the work output before the inability to exert the required force is experienced (Cafarelli, 1988; Garner et al., 1990; Jones et al., 1983; Matthews, 1982).
		Central Fatigue The central component to fatigue is generally described in terms of a reduction in the neural drive or 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).
		Peripheral Fatigue Fatigue during physical work is usually modelled from the peripheral context of an inadequate capacity to supply metabolic substrate to the contracting muscles to meet the increased energy demand.

	Fatigue
		Physically, fatigue is characterized by a profound lack of energy, feelings of muscle weakness, and slowed movements or central nervous system reactions.
		Fatigue may be the result of one or more environmental causes such as inadequate rest, improper diet, work and home stressors, or poor physical conditioning, or one symptom of a chronic medical condition or disease process in the body.
		Chronic fatigue syndrome (sometimes called chronic fatigue immune deficiency syndrome), is a debilitating illness that causes overwhelming exhaustion and a constellation of neurological and immunological symptoms.

	AEGiS-GMHC: HIV/AIDS-Related Fatigue
		Fatigue, generally measured by patients' responses to questions concerning reductions in daily activity, is one of the most prevalent and most undertreated problems experienced by patients with HIV infection and AIDS.
		Fatigue appeared to be a treatment-related side effect in 5.4% of respondents with AIDS, 6.2% of those with ARC and 4.3% of those with asymptomatic HIV.
		Physical symptoms, drug side effects, sleep disturbances, malnutrition and wasting, AIDS dementia, hormonal insufficiency (due to low adrenal gland output, for example) and muscular weakness (HIV- or AZT-related myopathy) all contribute to fatigue.

	Exercise as an Intervention for Cancer-Related Fatigue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		However, in contrast to exercise-induced fatigue experienced by these individuals, the fatigue experienced by patients with cancer is of greater magnitude and persistence, tends to remain after rest periods, is more disruptive to activities of daily living, and has a more negative affective impact.
		The fatigue pattern most commonly seen in subjects, both exercisers and nonexercisers, was a sharp increase in symptoms in the first 24 to 48 hours after chemotherapy.
		Physical therapists are in a unique position to prescribe exercise as well as monitor for adverse changes in patients with cancer, in addition to being able to recognize when exercise may be unsafe in these complex patients (eg, metastasis to bone).

	The Body: A Comprehensive Look at HIV-Related Fatigue
		Chronic fatigue is persistent exhaustion that is not associated with exertion and that may not be relieved by rest.
		Physical fatigue is often related to a specific physical malfunction, such as heart, lung, endocrine (hormone), or nervous system problems.
		Emotional fatigue involves a decrease in motivation and lack of interest or pleasure in normal activities (also called anhedonia), what Dr. Capaldini calls a lack of "get-up-and-go." Emotional fatigue may also be associated with feelings of frustration and irritability.

		Fatigue is a moderately intense symptom during adjuvant breast cancer chemotherapy that decreases, but does not return to low levels for all women, after active treatment.
		Fatigue secondary to cancer and its treatments differs from acute fatigue because patients continue to suffer feelings of weakness and tiredness not fully relieved by rest (Cella et al., 2001).
		Fatigue was significantly predicted by depression, pain, current tamoxifen use, mastectomy, and anxiety in a sample of 112 patients with breast cancer who were at a clinic for treatment or follow-up examination (Haghighat, Akbari, Holakouei, Rahimi, and Montazeri, 2003).

		Fatigue can significantly interfere with a person's ability to function at home and at work, and may be the most prominent symptom in a person who otherwise has minimal activity limitations.
		Fatigue is a most important cause of early departure from the workforce.
		Because fatigue can also be caused by treatable medical conditions such as depression, thyroid disease, or anemia, or may occur as a side effect of various medications or be the result of inactivity, persons with MS should consult a physician if fatigue becomes a problem.

		One kind of fatigue -- physical fatigue -- shows up after specific activities -- for example, getting unusually short of breath after climbing a hill, or having your legs give out while walking three blocks to the grocery store, or having your arms be too weak to stack soup cans on your kitchen shelf.
		Abnormal physical fatigue is often due to a specific system of the body malfunctioning -- for example, lung problems, heart problems, nerve problems, or muscle problems.
		Morning fatigue may be a symptom of biochemical depression which is primarily a brain hormone problem, characterized by low levels of serotonin and/or norepinephrine.

	Fatigue
		Fatigue is a common, but nonspecific, sensation of generalized weakness or exhaustion.
		Fatigue is normal after heavy physical exertion (like running four or five miles) or after a busy, tiring day, but it is not "normal" for someone to feel tired or a loss of energy with little effort or after adequate sleep and rest.
		Many illnesses are associated with fatigue: anemia, heart disease, underactive thyroid, and depression are just a few of the many causes.

	Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine: Fatigue
		Fatigue is physical and/or mental exhaustion that can be triggered by stress, medication, overwork, or mental and physical illness or disease.
		But when fatigue becomes a persistent feeling of tiredness or exhaustion that goes beyond normal sleepiness, it is usually a sign that something more serious is amiss.
		Extreme fatigue which persists, unabated, for at least six months, is not the result of a diagnosed disease or illness, and is characterized by flu-like symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, and muscle weakness and/or pain may indicate a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome.
