Good point! I actually forgot about my fibromyalgia and it could be part of the problem! 🤦‍♀️ thanks for the reminder! Do you take anything for your fibromyalgia? I was told that there is not much to do except let those episodes pass…since being diagnosed with RA, I guess I was putting everything under one medical umbrella but should not do that!

I am experiencing this type of exhaustion this week. It is really hard to deal with so I am back on this support group searching for how others deal with it. On top of the fatigue, my neuropathy and dizziness are all major issues for me. I am getting so tired of dealing with all of this so I apologize for the negativity this morning!

Fatigue is a symptom of RA. It’s a pain in the … to deal with - if I maybe honest.

Yes, I feel like that most days but wonder if it is Rhuematoid Arthritis or my Fibromyalgia. I suppose it could be both, but I empathise with you. I get so frustrated.
