Constant fatigue

Daily, I am extremely tired. Does anyone have tips to help?

  1. I hear you, fatigue is one of the hardest symptoms to manage and nearly impossible to escape. We have several articles written my different patient leaders with tips for how they try to fight fatigue in their life: (1) https://lupus.net/living/fatigue-tips (2)https://lupus.net/living/manage-fatigue I hope some of these help! Know you are not alone!

    1. I sip Coca Cola, it helps some. I took Cola syrup when I was pregnant for nausea and vomiting. Find it at pharmacies. I keep peppermint candies and Ginger chews candies handy. They help a lot.

      I'm glad you found a few things that have helped make a difference for you. My Grandmother would always recommend Cola syrup for tummy troubles.
      Thanks so much for chiming in. ~Doreen (Team Member)

    1. I stay tired as well. I try to get as much rest as I can but it just doesn't seem to be enough.

      1. , Lupus fatigue can be brutal and difficult to escape. Two of our patient leaders have shared in separate articles some tips that help them.

    2. I struggle daily with fatigue. I just dunno how to handle it. Some days it's worse and I feel guilty for sleeping a lot. But, like that's one of the things that helps.

      1. I can definitely relate. I have released the guilt. I tell everyone around me lupus can take me down for a few days I hope you understand. and I leave it at that. Nothing helps but to go through it all. ~Racquel~ https://lupus.net team member
