fatigue and rheumatoid arthritis

Last of 4 replies sign up to view previous answers

Lots of sleep and rest when you need to. Pace yourself during the day. Mild exercise.

I'm curious to hear how all of you deal with fatigue. I go weeks to months extremely fatigued. With or without fatigue I get weak. Also, I get leg weakness. The leg weakness is ridiculously interfering in my life.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hope that you get some answers. Just saw on the news that they want to add Covid vaccines into the "recommended" schedule for childhood vaccines. What do they mean by that? That a parent can opt out?

Does Anyone Else Struggle With Severe Fatigue And Brain Fog?

I've noticed that many people with RA are able to work, exercise and be fairly functional. I struggle to drag myself through the day. I do some walking and low impact exercise 2 to 3 times a week but between feeling tired and muscle weakness, it's tough. Then on the days when I do exercise, I'm a zombie afterwards. I quit working 10 years ago because I wasn't able to function mentally after a few hours. I often forget words and lose track of conversations. So frustrating!
Is it just me?
