Tired Teens

What do you do as a teenager when you go from being an active A-student with a busy social life to suddenly feeling as if you have no energy left? What's happened? Why do you feel so tired all of the time? And why is it so difficult to pinpoint what's wrong and get the right treatment? In Tired Teens, Dr. Fischer offers answers, hope and healing. He draws on his years of experience treating thousands of young patients at Mayo Clinic to transfer hard-earned knowledge in a clear and compassionate way to his listeners. If you're a teenager bothered by persistent tiredness - or a parent of one - than this book is for you. Tired Teens: Understanding and conquering chronic fatigue and POTS is an extension of Dr. Fischer's groundbreaking work at Mayo Clinic. In this book for teens, parents of teenagers, educators, and health care providers, Dr. Fischer explains the sudden and disruptive development of chronic tiredness and fatigue that occurs in some teens. He discusses where symptoms may come from, including disorders such as autonomic dysfunction and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Most importantly, he offers hope and guidance about how to overcome chronic fatigue and POTS for good.
