Fatigue is very common after a stroke. It is a symptom that not many people know about or know how to correctly manage. Fatigue can affect you physically, mentally and emotionally.
It is important to recognise and accept fatigue as a symptom of your stroke just like limb weakness or altered speech/communication. Fatigue can affect us being able to carry out every day tasks, even simple ones. It may affect our ability to move and it may affect our ability to be able to return back to work.
It can be challenging to adjust your daily activities to help manage the fatigue you feel. With the correct approach, fatigue can improve post stroke and be managed well so you can to return to the activities you need and want to do, improving your quality of life.
