Fatigue is disruptive and interferes with all aspects of daily living. About 10 million doctor visits each year are attributed to fatigue, and many of those are tied to arthritis-related conditions. 　　【点评】 　　disruptive：具有破坏性的； 　　visit：在医学英语中表示“出诊，诊断”； 　　arthritis：关节； 　　condition：在公共英语中指“情况，状况”，但在医学英语中指“疾病，病症”。arthritis-related conditions即“与关节炎有关的疾病”。 . 　　According to the Arthritis Foundation, 98% of rheumatoid arthritis patients and 50% of people with lupus or Sjogrens syndrome report fatigue. The percentage escalates with obesity and depression, and complications of secondary conditions such as fibromyalgia, lung conditions, and cardiovascular problems. 　　【点评】 　　rheumatoid：类风湿的。rheumatoid arthritis即类风湿性关节炎； 　　lupus：狼疮，尤指红斑狼疮； 　　Sjogrens syndrome：舍格伦综合症，也称干燥症。syndrome是医学专用词汇，即综合症； 　　complication：并发症； 　　fibromyalgia：纤维肌痛； 　　cardiovascular：cardio-表示“心脏”，vascular表示“血管的”，合在一起构成合成词“心血管的”。 　　Patients often feel fatigue is inadequately addressed during doctor visits, likely because there is no quick fix. The impact of fatigue is significant. Many patients describe its effect on their lives as greater than that of pain. Fatigue is extreme weariness, overwhelming exhaustion, a feeling of being wiped-out, and having no energy —— even after a nights sleep. Fatigue affects a patients ability to think, and its unrelenting presence can cause emotions to change quickly. 　　【点评】 　　address：这里是“治疗，治愈，解决”的意思； 　　fix：这里做“方法”讲； 　　overwhelming：无法抵御的。 　　Here are 10 tips for fighting fatigue.
