Lupus: Is a chronic inflammatory disease and needs all the rest that you can get. Jogging is for biochemically fit people, also get the best diet possible.

Very common: The fatigue from sle can be severe and debilitating at times. We think it has to do with the inflammatory chemicals released by the body. This is a common symptom and is actively researched. Try to cut your jog in alf for a while. Build it back up slowly. Be patient with yourself!
