Small temporary discomforts, pains that we attribute to routine... What if something deeper was hidden behind these signs? One woman decided to share her story, not to scare, but to raise awareness.
A fatigue that we consider "normal"
: Susan, 47, a working mother of two, often felt exhausted. A fatigue that he attributed to everything that life threw at him: work, responsibilities, short nights... So much so that sometimes he would stop in his car just to take a nap.
At that time, I didn't see anything strange about him. "We just thought we were exhausted, like everyone else," she said. But with hindsight, he realizes that this extreme and persistent fatigue deserved to be heard.
Subtle but telltale symptoms
During a trip to France, Susan suffered from constipation, a problem she had never experienced before. He attributed it to dietary changes or the stress of travel. In short, nothing alarming, he thought.
But when she returned home, she felt intense pain. Enough to go to the doctor. Routine examinations revealed nothing of concern and he was advised to rest. However, I still had the feeling that something was wrong.
