I thought I knew most acronyms but just seen this one on my record ( I was ordering Meds ) when I saw it .
What I find interesting is the GP and Nurse Practitioner both put it down and I never mentioned being tired even though sometimes I am LOL.
Best Regards
What does it mean? I often buy tat from supposedly 'antique' shops 🤣🤣
Tired all the time - I guess
Oh yeah, that sounds about right 👍
Must admit I guessed it after a while of thinking what it could mean.
Thanks, I don't feel so dim now 🤣🤣
It's another example of NHS speak 😡

Thank you. Interesting that this has cropped up today. My husband had a home visit yesterday & the clinician wants him to have full bloods just to make sure he's not anemic again which would account for him being so tired & actually feeling drained from just having a shower!!
TATT....tired all the time!! In my field its an indicator of low mood - but fatigue is a symptom of lots of other things.
It’s definitely tired all the time; I’ve had it on medical records for years and over the past few years has got much worse and turns out I have ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia. I totally feel clinicians putting TATT is a cop out on their part and lazy if they don’t follow up x
Hello TATT is Tired All The Time
It appears I have Low Iron (for H F ) but I am not Anemic my Haemoglobin levels are OK So the Iron infusion has been cancelled.
# I have been given some advice like we could hammer a Nail into your Head and let it Rust or you could suck on a 6" Nail, think I will stay tired lol.
Regards
As others have said it is an acronym meaning Tired All the Time
However, it is also a dismissive term for fatigue which is a real symptom with real causes. Those of us with ongoing and poorly understood conditions have good reason to object vehemently to it's use. It often labels us as moaning minnies, with the implication that we are wasting NHS resources with our whingeing.
It is NOT a medical term and should always be challenged when it appears in medical notes.
This is one of the many dismissive, discriminatory and derogatory acronyms which were used as shorthand among medics. Anyone using them now should be disciplined for their lack of respect and professionalism.
I was a health professional and deeply regret using these terms conversationally before I realised the damage they can do. We now have greater awareness of this and should not condone the continued use of such terms.
Well said 👏👏👏
It may not be a medical term, any more than chest cough, itchy ears, swollen ankles. However, they are not four words long. All of those and others and tired all the time are symptoms. They can all be written on the records because until investigated, no-one can say what the cause is. TATT may be caused by several different illnesses including thyroid disorders or fibromyalgia. TATT may remain on the records until diagnosis. If it continues to reappear, scrawled on a patient's notes, without any investigations - blood tests, etc., I would challenge why it has been written/scrawled on my records. I would ask when they are going to investigate it, or if it no longer applies, ask for it to be deleted.
ongoing fatigue is the proper term for this - it may be longer but it is correct and cannot but misunderstood - terms like TATT are unacceptable jargon and as an ex-medical professional I am ashamed that it is and has ever been used in medical notes
They probably can't spell it, and if they write OF, what doctor is going to notice it? Fings aint wot vey used ta be.
How can they say you’re “Tired all the time” when you never said that to them. They can’t look at someone and say they’re tired all the time. That don’t make any sense. Or is it me not grasping the meaning of TATT.
Covid tell me more
