A member asked:
I am being treated for uctd and seeing a rheumatologist. what are good options (lifestyle and meds) that help with severe fatigue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
FIRST, is the fatigue part of your primary diagnosis, is there a sleep disorder, are you depressed, are medications causing this, do you have a chronic infection, is there a co-morbidity? Answers to these are a start, and once this is pinned down, a treatment program may commence.
