Allergic Tension
Fatigue Syndrome

Allergic Tension Fatigue Syndrome: Overview

The fatigue related to chronic food allergy usually starts as intermittent episodes in association with some other allergic manifestation, especially gastrointestinal symptoms, headaches or nasal allergy.  It is usually more pronounced in the early morning, often decreases as the day progresses, and occurs despite a full night of sound sleep.  Unlike exercise-related fatigue, there is a permanent, pre-exertion fatigue or weakness which often requires a distinct effort or 'push' to get you started.
