	"There is no substitute for one-to-one advice from a top medical expert and that's what we offer our callers and emailers. But for each person who calls to ask for help, someone else phones in to pass on a tip or a suggestion - it's a great programme to present." Barbara Myers

Full programme transcript >> Fatigue All of us feel tired from time to time, but for some people, tiredness can be a more serious problem. It may go on for a long time or can be so serious we can’t function properly. A lack of energy can be caused by a variety of different factors: it can follow an illness or an operation, or be a symptom of conditions we find hard to explain such as ME and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Barbara Myers will be joined by consultant neurologist Leslie Findley to answer your questions. Contact the Programme Check Up is your opportunity to ask an expert about the condition. If you have a question, contact us by calling 0870 010 0444 from 1.30pm - 3.30pm on the day of broadcast or by emailing the programme - see 'Contact Check Up' link above. Next week Next week's programme is about fertility.
