Does Anyone Feel Tired 24/7?
I feel tired all day every day and I'm not sure if it's related to HS or not. I can't ever name a time where I feel energised. However I feel tired whether I'm having an active flare up or not - it's just constant. Does anyone have this as well, I believe I read HS is commonly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome so was curious if I should get myself checked out.
