Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to say I love the fact that we can all share our concerns with one another (It is so important when you are faced with this debilitating disease) and also our insights. Well this is my question... Is anyone experiencing chronic fatigue with their meds? I take methotrexate (10mg sub-cutaneous) humira (40mg every other week)and sometimes morphine for my pain. I also take sleeping pills but even then I wake up as tired as the night before.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Michelle

Hi Michelle.

I suffer from fatigue too and for me, it is one of the worst things (along with the pain) about having arthritis.  The inflammation process itself seems to cause fatigue, as well as the medications.

It's hard to have to slow down when you're used to living life to the full (I'm only 40), but I've learnt the hard way to pace myself. Resting and napping seem to be necessary to many of us! 

All the best,

Wendy

God bless you and all the best to you too!
