😴 Feeling Tired All The Time

Step 1️⃣: Start with the basics: Sleep, Hydration, Eating Regular and Being mindful of screen time

Step 4️⃣: Track patterns
When does the fatigue hit? Morning, afternoon, all day? Consider a diary

"The service and care that �Dr Katie Barber and her team provide is outstanding. �Dr Barber has fantastic expertise as well as wonderful interpersonal skills. I have a long and complex history of chronic vulval pain, but Dr Barber was able to diagnose immediately, explain and then provide a treatment plan. I cannot recommend her highly enough; her clinic has been pivotal in my recovery."
