2. Fatigue – The Weight that Doesn’t Lift
Everyone knows fatigue. After exertion or a long day, it’s natural to feel drained. However, the fatigue stemming from liver issues is different. It’s a heavy, unshakable weight that doesn’t relent with rest.
The liver’s role in our energy metabolism is significant. It regulates blood sugar and produces essential proteins. When it fails, these processes get disrupted. As a result, energy production in the body dwindles, leading to profound fatigue.
This fatigue is not just about feeling tired. It affects daily functions. Simple tasks become Herculean challenges. The body feels like it’s wading through molasses, slow and burdened.
Yet, fatigue is a deceptive symptom. Its universality makes it easy to overlook or attribute to other causes. However, when combined with other liver-related symptoms, it warrants immediate attention. It’s the body’s muted way of signaling something is amiss. (2)
