Fatigue: A Case Study

Many people may feel that they have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but the feeling is a constant feeling of exhaustion without relief. The feeling is just a constant annoyance, there is just no escape, and for some it is a life-changing thing that makes them bed-ridden. Whilst the people affected by this disease differ in several ways of life, one common thing they all share is pain and fatigue. Whilst it is the main problem that gets treated other mental problems come with CFS. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a debilitating disorder that’s main symptom causes he or she to be constantly tired no matter the amount of sleep that he or she get, and the way people contract it is interesting, there is also no known cure, but a few treatments are available.

People should be punished for not taking action in a life and death situation. In the article the author, Jay Sterling Silver, believes that civil liability should be established for everyone everywhere. I somewhat agree with his point because it’s the right thing to do but that’s not always the case. During a life and death situation people tend to panic and when they do they start to lose control because they are torn between taking action or calling 911 but it might be too late for that. People will act without precaution in an emergency or some will not act at all because they’re scared they might make the situation worse than what it is.

Fatigue can be a symptom of many disease condition such as thyroid problems, a brain tumor, vitamin deficiency, anemia, hypothyroidism, pregnancy and depression. It is important to ask questions that should rule out all these differential diagnoses. As the interview progresses some of the diagnosis can be ruled out. The initial questions that the patient was asked include

Some chronic stressors can occur in any organization, and a police department is no different. Some of these common stressors include: having to work weekends and holidays, having to work rotating shifts and odd hours, as well as there being internal conflict between two co-workers or between an employee and a supervisor (Hess, Orthmann, & LaDue, 2016). In addition to these stressors, there are also those that relate mostly to just law enforcement. One of the big chronic stressors in law enforcement is being in physical danger at times, as well as the constant fear and mental preparation of being in danger. Stress can also come from officers knowing that the well-being of others in on them (South University, 2016).

The patient presents for routine follow up. States overall he has done not okay. He has been seen and evaluated for his chronic hoarseness telling that he needed to rest his vocal chords. States that it may be getting a little better if he has quit singing for several weeks. The patient states that he still continues to be quite short of breath. States that he feel he does have COPD from his tobacco use. States that he does have a lot of drainage and coughing early morning with sputum production. He has denied any dizziness, syncope, chest pain, or other difficulties. Appetite is well. Bowel and bladder function is without difficulties. He has also continued on his verapamil, lisinopril, aspirin, and daily

Police departments are updating and changing their policies because fatigue among patrol officers are on the rise. There are police departments that work twelve, ten, and some even work eight hours shifts. After their shifts are over the police officer goes to work for a different business, or they are hired for other special events such as concerts, football games, basketball games, and some community events. Some officers are contracted to conduct security work for department stores like Walmart, or Target. After the police officers have finished their shift, they then go to their second employment and then go home for a couple of hours rest and return to the police department for their shift. The officer is then fatigued while on shift, and there are times that no one knows the lack of rest of a person but the police officer, who is then putting other officers at the police department

Many post cancer patients deal with the feeling of egregious fatigue for many years after cancer treatment. There is a way to help this fatigue without making them take anymore medicine. These suffering patients can take a placebo, which is a non activated pill most of the time it is a sugar pill. Post cancer patients suffering from fatigue who took a placebo felt a 29% difference in severity of their fatigue and 39% improvement in life disrupting fatigue. Taking this placebo it will not have any negative effect like active medicine can. Using active medicine can have side-effect warnings of panic, psychosis, and heart failure. Nevertheless, taking the placebo it will cause them less fatigue without having to worry about the negative effects

Sarah, I also believe that there is a problem in police departments with their officer moonlighting. The salary issue is probably the number one reason that police officers moonlight. Those numbers are staggering with twelve sheriff’s deputies in the department, eight of them are working part-time for extra money. That is important that the police department has an excellent policy to inform the personnel the importance of being well rested on the job. If they come to work fatigued, then it becomes a safety

Early manifestations of MS are vision, ambulation disturbance, fatigue, and reflex changes. Fatigue is usually noted by the patients. The vision, changes in ambulation, and reflex changes are changes that the provider may notice in the exam; these changes are changes that the patient may not even be notifying yet or that they are not wanting to admit to. Some of these changes may be noticed by the family of close friends of the patient.

“Have you ever considered about which season has a higher risk of car accidents on the highway? Summer or winter?” I glanced to the right, kept my hands stable on the wheel.

Police work is a stressful occupation that can lead to PTSD, depression, exhaustion, and cardiovascular disease.

Any stressful condition can cause temporary fatigue but frequent occurrences of this condition or after minor physical effort need attention and treatment and herbal remedy for physical and mental fatigue, tiredness or lack of energy are safe and effective ways to treat it. Physical fatigue is different than mental fatigue, physical fatigue is also called as muscular fatigue because a person is unable to exert enough force necessary to perform a task due to lack of energy in the muscles involved, whereas mental fatigue does not involves any muscle but manifests itself as somnolence or decrease in attention.

There was three different expected outcomes derived from two different aims of this experiment. The first hypothesis being that increasing reward will restore attention to the task at hand. From the second aim of the experiment they expected two separate distinct outcomes; the first would suggest that fatigue has to do with limited energy sources so they expect little to no improvement from increased motivation. The second outcome dealt with flexible motivational systems and expected great improvements or even returning to baseline motivation and attention levels.

Critics initially assumed that Frank was the genius behind all of the couple’s works and assessments of factory productivity. He, of course, was the male of the couple and therefore the credit was most often his. People in this era had a hard time acknowledging women's accomplishments, especially hers because of her husband’s place in assisting to get her name out into the world. Lillian began to be included however and slowly she began to rise. Together, the two established a Fatigue Study in which they published under both of their names in 1917. They additionally published an Applied Motion Study in England and Germany. Many of their lectures also became known and they covered precision, motion devices, and industrial opportunity. Lillian

Chronic fatigue syndrome is usually associated with repercussions and pain attacks when the patient has to experience even a slight physical activity or a mental workload. They are unable to perform a minimum of 30 minutes exercise per day since it adds up to their exhaustion level.
