Your doctor is going to have to subscribe to this journal. With a substantial percentage of stroke patients having fatigue, maybe someone will determine why it occurs after stroke. A Great stroke association would solve this.
You do expect your doctor to solve your fatigue? Don't you?

With peer-reviewed articles on fatigue having increased 90% over the
past decade – and nearly 1,000 papers on the topic published in 2011
alone – the time is right for Routledge’s new journal, Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health & Behavior.
Sponsored by the International Association for Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (IACFS/ME) and supported by a
distinguished multidisciplinary editorial board of international
scientists and clinicians, Fatigue is the first biomedical and
behavioral journal focused on fatigue. Editor Fred Friedberg says, ‘We
believe that high-quality contributions in the area of fatigue are more
likely to be submitted to a journal that clearly recognizes the
importance of fatigue as a field of scientific study as well as an
important clinical concern.’
The aim of the new journal is to address the symptom of fatigue in
medical illnesses, behavioral disorders and specific environmental
conditions. These three broad domains are intended to advance
interdisciplinary research on causation, pathophysiology, assessment and
treatment.
Topics covered by the journal include: fatigue in diseases such as
cancer, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS), pain conditions,
mood disorders and circulatory diseases. Friedberg and his editorial
board will also consider papers on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME),
fibromyalgia, fatigue in sleep, aging, exercise, sport and occupations.
As Friedberg notes, ‘More generally Fatigue will publish on the biology, physiology and psychosocial aspects of fatigue as well as assessment and treatment.’
Fatigue will also target both science and practice. Fatigue
science focuses on the study of acute and chronic fatigue states in
healthy and ill populations. Fatigue practice refers to clinicians,
largely physicians, psychologists, physical and occupational therapists
and nurses who diagnose, evaluate, treat and provide clinical care for
patients with a wide range of fatiguing illnesses and conditions.
The inaugural issue of Fatigue has just been published, and
has already attracted attention on Internet fora. In addition to
overviews of the subject and the state of current research, the issue
includes papers on topics as far-ranging as energy-conservation
interventions for patients with CFS/ME, fatigue and circadian-activity
rhythms in breast-cancer patients, fatigue and related issues in women
with (and without) fibromyalgia, fatigue management in the workplace and
fatigue in US railroad workers in safety-sensitive positions.
Fatigue will be published quarterly, in online and hard-copy
versions. Significantly, there are no submission fees for authors, who
are encouraged to submit original research papers, literature reviews,
data-based theoretical papers, short reports, qualitative studies,
innovative case studies, expert interactive commentary and letters to
the editor.
The next issue of this ground-breaking and timely journal from Routledge and the IACFS/ME will be published in June 2013.
