Muscle pain, arthritis and fatigue are symptoms of Sweet's syndrome. Fatigue is not the same as ordinary tiredness.

The Boom and Bust Cycle of Fatigue: Your Questions Answered. versusarthritis.org/news/20...

"Feeling tired is usually activity dependent. For example, following a busy day at home or work or following a vigorous exercise session, it’s normal to feel tired.

Fatigue is very different, it can occur at any point during the day and it doesn't have to be triggered by something. Fatigue can make the body and brain feel slow, sluggish and heavy."

Thanks for this. Can you point to a study that I can print off and take to my rheumatologist. She keeps telling me that my joint pain and fatigue are not Sweet's and I'm getting so frustrated!

Do you have to have the rash at the same time you have these symptoms?

Hi Skittles,

The fatigue can sometimes precede the rash by a few weeks, but most people will then go on to develop a rash.
