T.A.T.T.

Assalamualaikum and hi!

Just want to share something common. Sooooo commmooonnn especially for a student. ehehs.

Anyway, lets get back to the business!

My doctor asked me if a patient came with T.A.T.T. what are your differential diagnosis?

And I was like WHAT?! Tatt??

It was my first time know that term. T.A.T.T. = Tired All The Time.

I don't understand why they want a fancy acronym. pfttt. ok. thats it about the name.


So, if you feel tired all the time, there are number of questions you have to ask yourself and if it is YES most of the questions, please be worried.

Biological Factors.

1. Are you a vegetarian? [Query for anemia]
2. If yes, did you take any iron supplement?
3. Are you a female? [Query for heavy bleeding]
4. If yes, when was your last menstrual period? 
5. Is it heavier than normal? Or how many pads did you used recently? Or was there any flushing?
6. Have you gain your weight recently? [Query for hypothyroidism]
7. Are you cold intolerance?
8. Do you have any constipation recently?
9. Do you have increase in thirst? [Query for diabetes]
10. Do you feel want to go to the toilet more than usual?
11. Have you loss your weight recently?
12. Do you feel more hungry lately?

Physiological factors

1. Did you sleep well last night? [Query for insomnia/depression]
2. How was your appetite? 
3. What did you do that you find it enjoyable? 
4. Did you still do it?
5. Is there anything bothering you lately?
6. Do you have any bad thoughts?
7. Have you ever think of self harm?
8. If yes, what did you plan to do?
9. Did you talk about this with your parents?

The common causes of tired all the time are Anaemia, Hypothyroidism and Depression

Don't keep it to yourself if you feel you are tired all the time. Seek help. See doctor. Talk to your friends about this or your family.

If something bothering you, seek help. And don't forget to ask from Allah. 

Easy said then done. But believe me, you are precious. Love yourself. Allah is always there for you. Be strong. If HE has kept you breathing, He has a purpose for you. Value yourself. :)
