Before a flare do you get REALLY tired? | Arthritis Information

I have noticed before a decent sized flare hits I get REALLY tired - anyone else?Hi Abby.  I can't really say this happens to me.  The fatigue is just part of the flare and the disease for me and I never really noticed (paid attention) if the fatigue was there before the flare.  Good question!  My flares seem to hit without warning or after I do something... some activity, that I had the energy to do.

How is the Humira working for you?  Do you take any other RA meds?  I hope you feel better soon!

abbyrhoades,

Absolutely. When I am in a flare my fatigue is absolutley fatigueing. I also wan to say that if my body is sick somewhere, that in itself causes a flare because my body puts out the fighter anti-bodies to fight where I'm sick and in so doing also increases the inflammatories that flare my joints. Hope that makes sense. I know when I'm sick because that's when i flare.

Yep - the fatigue is first.  I feel like I'm trying to run a marathon after taking an Ambien.  And then the joint pain hits.
LOL.  Are you kidding? I swear my body just melts into the chair, the bed, whatever is around me. Suddenly a midday nap is imperative.
