You’d take your child to the doctor if they were constantly exhausted.

“Maybe I’m just tired.”

It’s something countless mothers tell themselves every day.

Tired after the school run.
Tired after work.
Tired after another broken night’s sleep.

But what if the exhaustion never goes away?

What if you’re waking up tired, going to bed tired, struggling to concentrate, forgetting simple things, and feeling like you’re running on empty no matter how hard you try?
