Living with arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or a related condition, such as fibromyalgia or lupus, can be exhausting. The onset of fatigue can seem to happen very suddenly, and the fact that it is invisible means that others often find it difficult to understand.
The type of fatigue that is associated with a chronic condition is very different from ordinary tiredness after a busy week or poor night’s sleep. It can affect your concentration, mood, motivation, relationships, work, and ability to manage everyday tasks.
The good news is that there are practical, evidence-based strategies that can help you manage your energy more effectively and improve your quality of life. Read through our 8 tips to cope with fatigue here: https://www.arthritisireland.ie/blog/8-practical-tips-to-cope-with-fatigue
