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 😥
This country is killing me
My wife is officially in remission
Fatigue, stiffness, is this ra?
Is this 'normal' for RA??!!
Is my experience of ongoing pain and fatigue, even though I don't much have swelling and my bloods look normal, common?
