A member asked:
Severe ongoing fatigue (sleep 18-20 hrs 2x's/wk)- thyroid, vit d, iron all ok. possible start of lupus or mixed connective disease, any connection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: If fatigue is the only issue, it is very unlikely that it results from a connective tissue disorder. Have you seen a rheumatologist? I would consult one. It could be chronic fatigue syndrome or numerous other issues.
