Parkinson’s Fatigue: More Than Feeling Tired
Parkinson’s fatigue is a common but often misunderstood symptom. It is more than ordinary tiredness and can feel like running on an almost empty battery that never fully recharges. Even after a full night’s sleep, eating well, taking medications, and having no obvious illness, overwhelming exhaustion may still persist.
This type of fatigue can make simple daily activities feel physically and mentally demanding. While it may not always be visible to others, it can have a significant impact on quality of life. Working with healthcare professionals, staying active when possible, and maintaining healthy routines may help manage fatigue and improve overall well-being.
