Qualitative Analysis A common theme was a general slowing
down. “I have like a certain amount of energy in my bank account
in the morning, and it just kind of gradually depletes during
the day, and when it’s gone, it’s gone” (62-year-old man, moderate
fatigue interference). Other participants reported rearranging
their activities around the time of worst fatigue. “Then I
arrange my day so that I can take my walk, come back and
take a nap, and be fresh for the appointment. And that’s the
way I handle it” (81-year-old woman, high fatigue interference).
Other descriptors of symptom distress included: “I remember
I taught Grapes of Wrath. And ma would say, ‘I’m sick
tired,’ you know.... You’re almost sick, you’re so tired”
(74-year-old woman, moderate fatigue interference). Some
participants described their distress in terms of activity, “like
you want to lie down and take a nap” (50-year-old man, moderate
fatigue interference). Participants who reported the lowest
FSI-Interference Scale scores reported fewer instances of
daily fatigue but still reported having days when they were
exhausted.
