Fatigue Clinic

[TheBoys]

Hello everyone-

Has anyone in the U.K. with Rheum. Arthritis ever heard or been referred to Fatigue Clinics within the NHS?

Many thanks

Paul

No. I’ve heard of pain clinics but not fatigue clinic. But since there are many people now with fatigue from long Covid, perhaps they have been set up recently.

I asked to be referred and was referred. Lots of questions - made a knowing "ahh" when i mentioned arthritis. Couldn't really offer anything useful. Suggested nurse-led pilates but i was already doing gentle pilates in my home town.

In addition to the excellent responses here you may also be interested in the survey NRAS completed some years ago on Fatigue and the resulting resource booklet. nras.org.uk/2014/06/16/chro...

No but it sounds a great idea...let us know all about it when you go, please. Fatigue is such a common symptom to several health issues and it can be very hard to deal with, so it sounds as if it is a positive step. Hope it helps. x
