What Is McArdle Disease?
7. Fatigue
It is quite normal to feel fatigued, especially after a long day. Get some food and some rest, however, and you will soon be feeling refreshed. This is not always the case for people with McArdle disease, however, with many patients feeling tired throughout the day regardless of how active they have been.
The condition will also cause people to have poor stamina overall and will quickly get tired after exercising. Some people will experience second-wind phenomena, however, which means that their stamina returns after exercising for around 10 minutes. The phenomenon is not well understood, but it is thought it might be related to endorphin production.
