   <p><inline-mention username="AlysonP" user-id="4235650"/> I&#39;m glad you got that break! Sometimes there is no explanation, unfortunately. But you may find an answer by tracking your symptoms. There&#39;s a book, Despite Lupus by Sara Gorman, where she talks about how she meticulously tracked nearly every aspect of her life and was able to manage her lupus much better as a result. It could be worth trying if you&#39;re aiming for remission. I know I would love to have some years without my meds! Thanks for sharing with us. -Ava, <a href='http://lupus.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>lupus.net</a> team</p>

   <p>I am happy you shared your story and the part about fatigue resonates with me because it’s one of my major symptoms. Most days I have to tell myself that I am not lazy, my body is just not well and I need to rest.</p>

      <p>Hi <inline-mention username="Chan" user-id="4249973"/>, <br> Thank you for your support. Fatigue can feel so debilitating at times. It has nothing to do with &quot;laziness!&quot; Continue to be gentle with yourself and listen to your body&#39;s need for rest. You are not alone.<br/>-Gabby (team member) </p>
