Yes, but: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of lupus. However, fatigue is also associated with other disorders often also present in lupus patients such as hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia.

AUTOIMMUNE FATIGUE : Autoimmune Fatigue can be seen even when lupus is in remission. If you are not on any maintenance Meds like prednisone or methotrexate, that is great. You need a full exam and lab recheck VITD/B12/FOLIC ACID/ TFTS/LYME TITERS. One autoimmune disease increases the risk of others. I recommend a gluten free diet Wholeapproach.com. And gutbliss.com.
