Lupus Fatigue is one of the top most frustrating lupus symptoms a patient can have. Other people understand what tired is and when you say fatigue they think it’s the same thing, which it absolutely is not.
Fatigue means we can often barely function and no amount of sleep improves the situation, you could sleep 24 hours straight and still feel the same. You barely have the energy to switch a shower on, let alone actually take a shower, it’s like constantly wading through quicksand.
So when we tell you we’re fatigued don’t say ‘oh yes, I had late night and I’m tired too’
