Unfortunately, I have become fatigued regularly since being diagnosed! I always feel like I am sick too....achy, stiff, and low energy!
I will see a new Rheumatologist in June and hope for better treatment so I may have what others have at times called remission!
Hang in there! πŸ™πŸ½

When I was first diagnosed two years ago, I was very tired and had no energy. Eventually, we found a medication that helped, and my fatigue decreased significantly. Hopefully they find something that helps you. Good luck!πŸ’•

Yes I too get fatigue! Late afternoon to evening I can barely find energy. I thought about what I used to do years ago…. I took geritol for iron and vitamins. So I found some at my drug store and I seem to have more energy. This weekend I moved 3 cubic yards of mulch around the house. I was able to do it too! I do try to drink lots of water now.
I am 72 and know some energy lose is age too. But I fight it back.
