Fatigue/Malaise - Clarification

[Guest guest]

The discrepancy between the definition of " Fatigue/Malaise " and the

complaints of people with biotoxin associated illnesses is the

obvious abnormality that doctors consistently fail to identify.

fa·tigue (f & #601;-t & #275;g')

n.

Physical or mental weariness resulting from exertion.

Something, such as tiring effort or activity, that causes weariness:

the fatigue of a long hike.

Physiology. The decreased capacity or complete inability of an

organism, an organ, or a part to function normally because of

excessive stimulation or prolonged exertion.

The weakening or failure of a material, such as metal or wood,

resulting from prolonged stress.

mal·aise (m & #259;-l & #257;z', -l & #277;z')

n.

A vague feeling of bodily discomfort, as at the beginning of an

illness.

A general sense of depression or unease: " One year after the crash,

the markets remain mired in a deep malaise " (New York Times).

A person suffering from the devastating effects of mold grows worse

while engaging in NO exertion, effort, or activity at all.

The word " fatigue " is not adequate or accurate.

A persons suffering from the devastating effects of mold perceives

no " vagueness " to his description of systemic failure and inability

to stand up.

The word " malaise " is not accurate or adequate.

In an attempt to correct misinterpretation, descriptive expressions

are used:

Devastating.

Life Destroying.

My House is Killing me.

And yet in every case, the doctors refuse the extended description

of the illness presentation and persist in viewing the illness as

one of fatigue and malaise.

Doctors consistently manifest the peculiar incapacity to comprehend

simple words spoken in a language in which they claim to be

proficient.

The " Obvious Abnormality " is that the difficulty of sufferers to

adequately communicate the conditions of this illness is Obviously

Abnormal and points to the probability that the recipient of the

information is unable to form a meaningful conceptual framework that

accurately conveys an understanding of the situation.

If someone describes your illness as " fatigue " or " malaise " but is

unwilling to include the adjectives necessary to make the illness

presentation meaningful, you may suspect the probability that the

conceptual grasp of this person is that your illness consists of

NOTHING MORE than fatigue or malaise.

For purposes of clarity and to ensure that adequate communcation has

been established, there can be no compromise upon this point:

Persons attempting to convey comprehension of your situation must be

willing to use descriptive modifiers to enhance the meaning

of " fatigue/malaise " or betray their conviction that your illness is

NOTHING MORE than fatigue and malaise.
