Fatigue is kicking my butt this week

Hey everyone. I was a bit silly and I did too much last week and had a busy day on Saturday. Since then I have had very debilitating fatigue every day, which is frustrating me because I run my own business and it's been affecting how much work I can do. I have been resting a lot because that's one of the only things I can do right now.

Does anyone have any tips for how I can bounce back?

Its annoying as you rest or sleep but are still tired! All you can do is little bits at a time and keep talking to the rheumy team about getting the inflammation controlled as thats what causes the tiredness xx but sending lots of love as i find fatigue the hardest symptom x

It is the most frustrating isn't it because I don't have an arsenal of things to hand to help. I think I will try and speak to my team, thank you x

Yes if there was a magic take orange juice " it would be great .! I just rest and take pain killers if the pain is bad. But alternatively I push myself to go out to the garden or a drive which changes the scenety, does my mental health good , even though im still tired. Its a fine balance as some days only the couch and a movie will do, oh and the wonderfully "lazy " pyjama day!!

Continual Fatigue can be a sign your meds are not working. There is a post from Deeb this morning seems like a lot of us are struggling at the moment. Weather doesn’t help . Contact your team ad 2 weeks is long enough x

This is such a good point, thank you. xx

It's horrible when you realise you over did it and its too late to change it x

I give netflix an absolute bashing and try not to get too mean with myself for doing it. So frustrating though x

Hope you feel more you soon x

I think not being too mean to yourself is so important and something I need to get better at! x

Fatigue is the most debilitating of symptoms and not a lot you can do about it except rest up 😥
