What's the best way to deal with fatigue from sjogrens?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Need to know more: You need to define why you have the fatigue. Is it due to the sjogren's? What are the manifestations of the sjogrens that cause fatigue: anemia? Lung disease? Kidney disease? Etc. Many people have fatigue because they don't sleep well. Be cetrtain that a sleep evaluation is done. It could be sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome. It might not be related to the sjogren's. Ask the doctor.

Fatigue common.: Fatigue is the most common extraglandular manifestion of sjogren's. I presented a paper at the acr meeting in 2007 showing that Modafinil at doses of 100-200mg/day was remakably effective. An article, forthcoming, by myself and colleagues, in clincal pharmacology, will have much more detail. You can read the abstract by googling namey & modafinil. It will have my abstract!
