Hello everyone,

I am fairly new here and diagnosed with lupus. Over the last few months I have become increasingly fatigued. I need to speak with my doctor about this and plan on doing so, but I researched and it says fatigue is a common symptom of lupus.

Funny thing is, I have been diagnosed for about 2 years and only in the last 6 months have I begun to feel fatigued.

Has anyone else experienced that? What do you do for fatigue? Do you seek a doctor for it?

Thank you in advance.

What makes me the most tired is the inflammation makes it hard to breathe and wakes me up.

I feel completely exhausted and drained most of the time. Does anyone have any advice on how to help it? Should I just order a caffeine drip? :)

Hello, Fatigue is a warning sign to stop and rest or take a nap. When my son was little when he had a nap, I joined him. Listen to your body!!!! It is a warning to slow down and believe me it works! We need more rest than the average person. Be glad you are getting the warning signs before a flare. That warning is saying your body is tired and needs a break. We do not always want to listen to our bodies but I found out that the warning signs are a way to prevent a major flare-up.

God be With Us All--We always have challenges and I pray we have the wisdom to stop and listen. Not all of us are in tune with the signs and you are lucky you are having the signs to slow down to prevent a flare-up.

Many Blessings and I pray that you get a remission. Always, wishing you the best that life has to offer.

I am generally not taken seriously about my fatigue, but it’s pretty incapacitating 😞
