5. Tiredness
There are many things that can cause unexplained tiredness – and in fact, many of us spend a whole lot of our time tired for no obvious reason. This makes this a symptom that is very hard to miss.
But tiredness could, in fact, be caused by myelopathy. Not only is this possible due to the stress that the body is under during constant pain and difficulty with signaling, but also because it can impact sleep (a secondary symptom) and because it can prevent the usual transport of oxygen and blood to the brain. That last factor may mean that your usual brain function is impaired – thereby making you feel tired, dizzy, and generally unwell.
