Abstract:
Fatigue is one of the most common complaint of medicine and a very usual manner of communication between people. We must avoid to offer any reductionism. Fatigue is often related with physical and psychological symptoms. The inquiry is always difficult. Asthenia is a fatigue without or before effort. The world of the patient is subverted and we have to try to discover the meaning of this strange situation.
