Odd ive brought up fatigue and weakness with my rheumatologist recently and she didn’t say it was anything. Then i went to my pcp crying literally over how bad it was he was not sure what to do other than check vitamin b levels. Still nothing i was told to deal with it. And people wonder why depression hit lupus patients
Look for a new rheumatologist
Go to American College of Rheumatology and see if there is someone there
Sadly rheumatologist especially in my area are are rare find. I believe the problem is they’re so overworked that to many we’ve become numbers. It’s a sad truth. I’m about ready to discontinue treatment and just do my best on my own.
