Introduction

Fatigue is one of the most common challenges for people with neurological conditions.

But it’s not the same as just feeling tired...

It’s deeper, and it can affect your whole day.

What is fatigue?

• Neurological fatigue = brain/body working harder to do everyday tasks.

• Can happen even after simple activities (e.g., making a cup of tea).

• Not fixed by sleep alone.
