Fact 10: Unexplained Fatigue: The Draining Sign of MODS
Fatigue may seem like a common occurrence after a long day, but if it becomes a persistent feeling, it may indicate a deeper issue, like MODS. This unexplained, lingering fatigue goes beyond the normal tiredness one may experience after physical exertion or lack of sleep. It’s a form of tiredness that is constant and doesn’t go away with rest, often significantly impacting one’s daily life.
Imagine waking up after a full night’s sleep but still feeling utterly drained. Or feeling physically and mentally worn out without any discernible reason. This is the type of fatigue associated with MODS – a deep-seated exhaustion that saps the energy out of you, making even simple tasks seem overwhelming.
The specific reason behind this fatigue isn’t always clear. It could be due to the body’s continuous battle against severe infection or injury, which MODS typically originates from. This continuous fight depletes the body’s energy reserves, leading to persistent feelings of tiredness. (10)
