For me mental fatigue has been the worse for the past five or so years. In the early years of illness it was total physical exhaustion.
Lately this brain fatigue has been overwhelming. I am not talking about "fog" or being unable to think. I am talking about the feeling that my brain can't handle any stimulation at all which includes reading...tv...talking...sounds...just about everything. It causes my head to feel very heavy and then I feel tired but only in my brain/head. My body feels physically fine.
I also experience blurry vision and an off balance feeling and sometimes I just feel weird. I feel mental fatigue often but this starts within an hour or two of getting up in the morning when I really haven't been doing too much. Once it hits well I really can't function well. I usually have to spend most of the day sitting on the porch or laying in bed. Usually resting helps but not with this .
I am not sure if this is just something I am going through I hope and not a permanent thing. I had a rough year with moving twice and some really heavy emotional things happened. I just hope this will not last long as it is extremely uncomfortable and disabling...
