INVISIBLE ILLNESS The 5 signs your constant tiredness is actually chronic fatigue syndrome – as 90% of cases are missed
THE hamster wheel of life – work, eat, sleep, repeat – can leave many people feeling as though they're constantly exhausted.
And according to a recent study, the average Brit spends more than seven-and-a-half years of their lifetime feeling overtired.
However, there's a chance that this tiredness could be a sign of a bigger problem, with extreme exhaustion not just being down to reducing stress at work or getting those much-needed zzzzzs in.
It could be down to chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which is a complex disorder characterised by ongoing, debilitating tiredness.
