Tasks that are precisely paced by the rhythm of machine operation or conveyor-belt movement appear to be particularly fatiguing.
Travelling was, and still is, particularly fatiguing and it so happened that a month after the onset of the illness I had a big new piece at the Proms, but since the orchestra was the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, rehearsals were in Cardiff.
Moreover, the correction of anaemia and its associated symptoms, particularly fatigue, improves patients' quality of life.
Symptoms of MM and side effects of treatment, particularly fatigue and pain, were the predominant barriers to physical activity.
Patient participating in the study demonstrated improvements in QOL measures, particularly fatigue, and in muscle strength, suggesting possible benefits of such an EP.
Similar issues may explain delay in presentation among patients with skin symptoms, pain and systemic symptoms, particularly fatigue, which is very common in the general population (Pawlikowska et al, 1994; Chou, 2013).
Interindividual differences in insula reactivity to a standard peripheral inflammatory challenge, rather than the absolute magnitude of peripheral inflammatory response, best predict behavioral effects (particularly fatigue) of inflammation in humans (13).
At 12 months after stroke some symptoms were strongly associated with the MADRS-S scores, particularly fatigue (p = 0.0000), restlessness (p = 0.0001), sadness (p = 0.0001) and anorexia (p = 0.0020).
Further similarities existed, for example, in the frequency with which systemic symptoms (particularly fatigue) and pain were reported across all diseases and also the frequency that certain symptoms were reported by subtype (e.g., bleeding and bruising in acute leukaemia, lymphadenopathy in lymphoma and pain in myeloma).
This diary could be used to facilitate coming to a positive diagnosis and highlight the severity of the patient's symptoms allowing the patient to demonstrate to the GP how fatigue varies, particularly how fatigue can be prolonged and recovery slow.
We found fatigue to be common and particularly important; fatigue has responded in a variety of diseases, including cancer, to programmes of graded activity (Knols et al, 2005; Courneya and Friedenreich, 2007).
