Fatigue/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Published in Charles Theisler, Adjuvant Medical Care, 2023
Fatigue is described as an extreme physical and mental tiredness that does not go away with rest or sleep. A person with fatigue feels weak, tired, and lacks energy and motivation on a regular basis. The syndrome implies incredible fatigue and inability to do even the simplest of tasks without becoming exhausted, inability to cope with any stress, and insomnia. Society often looks upon fatigue as weakness and a lack of motivation. Individuals with this disorder often lose jobs, feel socially isolated, and have less quality to their lives. Fatigue is a symptom, not a diagnosis, but chronic fatigue syndrome is recognized as an illness by the Centers for Disease Control.

Because people with chronic fatigue syndrome are often unable to work, many find themselves in danger of losing their housing (Davis, Jason, & Banghart, 1998). When people become very sick with chronic fatigue syndrome, many could profit from a setting or community to protect them so that their health can improve. At present, these types of treatment settings are not available for people with chronic fatigue syndrome.

The association of personality traits with poststroke fatigue in daily life: An exploratory experience sampling method and cross-sectional study
Published in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 2023
Ela Lazeron-Savu, Bert Lenaert, Rudolf Ponds, Caroline van Heugten
Participants were recruited between September 2016 and October 2017 in Zuyderland hospital in Sittard, Adelante Zorggroep rehabilitation centre in Hoensbroek, and the University Medical Center in Maastricht (Netherlands). Inclusion criteria were: 1. Diagnosis of stroke confirmed by a neurologist, 2. Receiving outpatient rehabilitation care, 3. Age above 17 years and have the capacity to give consent. 4. Good comprehension of the Dutch language. Exclusion criteria were: 1. No possession of or unable to use a smartphone, 2. Participation assessed as potentially too burdening based on clinical judgement, 3. Diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia or currently undergoing cancer treatment (self-reported). The Medical research ethics committee of the Maastricht University Medical Center approved the study (approval code: METC 16-4-101). All participants gave their written informed consent.

Association between hair cortisol, hair cortisone, and fatigue in people living with HIV

Of the putative mechanisms contributing to fatigue, glucocorticoids (GCs) abnormalities, indicators of dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, has been proposed as one of the crucial causes of fatigue in PLHIV (Barroso, 1999; Jong et al., 2010). Cortisol is the principal GC hormone in humans, plays an essential role in the energy balance, the 24 h circadian rhythm, and stress responses. Cortisol abnormalities are well documented in PLHIV (Zapanti et al., 2008), with some studies find elevated cortisol levels in PLHIV (Christeff et al., 1999; Collazos et al., 2003), whereas others contradict these findings with lower or normal cortisol levels in PLHIV (Langerak et al., 2015; Merenich et al., 1990; Odeniyi et al., 2013). In addition, cumulative evidence has shown an association between GCs abnormalities and fatigue in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (Papadopoulos & Cleare, 2011; Powell et al., 2013). However, data are limited on the relationship between GCs levels and fatigue in PLHIV (Jong et al., 2010). To the best of our knowledge, only one study reported data on the relationship between salivary cortisol and fatigue in PLHIV without empirically tested (n = 40) (Barroso et al., 2006).
