Hi it's Debbie from Understood Care. I wanted to come on today and talk to you because suffering or getting a diagnosis of chronic fatigue is not something that's all in your head. It is actually a diagnosis and with the elderly generation, unfortunately, sometimes it's related to the medications that you take, but a lot of times there's conditions that you may have that lead to you feeling chronic malaise, chronic fatigue, no energy, low energy.

There's a lot of different things that can cause this symptom and in some cases this symptom becomes an actual diagnosis. So what we can do to help is talk to your primary care or your specialist to make sure any tests that they order are directly related to the issue that you're complaining of.

We can go through with your care team to see if there's something else that can be done to help, whether it be caused by medication or a medical condition you have, or if it's turned into its own medical condition.
