A member asked:

Is it possible to be so tired that my body aches and i feel depressed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, very possible: Fatigue has a deleterious effect on the body. Prolonged fatigue can lead to depression by affecting neurochemicals that influence mood and cognition, as well as suppress the immune system. These effects may increase sensitivity to pain and affect musculoskeletal conditioning leading to weakening of muscles, etc. important to have good self care (nutrition, sleep when available) during these times.
