There is a medication that is supposed to help with RA fatigue. I have forgotten the name of it. Does anyone know what it is called?
Provigil
I have horrible fatigue all the time,it the thing I struggle with most but I also have chronic mono and of course I take immunosuppressive meds for RA but they cause the mono to flair-- I just can't win
How often do most people experience fatigue?? I know there is meds out there for it..I guesse I refuse to take another med...
When I am feeling fatigued Usually i beleive its becouse I am having a slight flare and things a active...I try and rest...and sometimes I get depressed and want to sleep all the time...It really helps me to get outside and gadren..walk or ride my bike...then I have a good more balanced feeling of tired.
Sadly it’s a vicious circle I take cimzia for RA then I get fatigue with fibromyalgia I can’t win I try to sleep it off but I find it’s forced sleep
Not where I want to sleep meaning feeling naturally tired 😔
That is actually the virus that causes Mono. It’s rare to get it twice but some people do. My twin sister actually had it 3 times. She was diagnosed with it when she was 5 and she was very sick. That was way back in the early 50’s when they really didn’t know that much about it. Both of my kids had it at One years old. You can get very sick with it but usually you are a teenager or older when it’s that bad. Fever , sore throat can be severe, swollen glands and lymph nodes. Very fatigued. Swelling of the spleen also. Usually passes I. 2-4 weeks but that can be longer depending on the severity.
