Fatigue is a common symptom of both autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. It occurs for a number of different reasons, including inflammation in the body.

It's not the same as ordinary tiredness, and can be debilitating.

Hi Froggie, it's very difficult as others often won't accept that fatigue isn't the same as tiredness. Frustrating!

Ive had this reaction to everything to do with my sweets - my family say Im a drama queen even though I spent 3 months in hospital and nearly died from a bowel perforation when sweets lesions were everywhere internally and no one know what was happening to me. Its so hard to deal with this syndrome and the lack of support and understanding from people is awful. My love and support to all of you guys out there.

That is awful, Elaine! And let's face it, if you're seriously ill and in hospital for three months, it's pretty obvious that you're not faking it.
