PSA WITH CRONIC FATIGUE
I am on Methotrexate 20mg/week. Although joint pain has reduced, my major concern is intense fatigue. I usually feel unfresh the whole day, my eyes are always in stress and drained and feel dull due. energy levels are always low. please can someone advise what to do?
Hi @Sabeeh, I can hear how difficult this is for you. Unfortunately fatigue goes hand in hand with PsA. While I do hope you hear from our community members with their personal experiences, I am sending you an article that I really hope can help: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/managing-fatigue.

Hi @Sabeeh, I have had PsA for years. The fatigue has been the worst. I had to start working from home years ago, because just getting up to get dressed drain me. I had no energy or motivation to do anything. I was physically and mentally drain. I remember getting to work and begin a project and would be dead tired in a few minutes. I remember trying to give a presentation and couldn't concentrate and actually couldn't remember how to do something that I had done for 30 years. Some of the medications that I take have helped me with fatigue over the years. Diane. Team Member
I think that the pain causes a lot of fatigues as it's constant ever if not chronic. Also as its an immunity disorder its constantly attacking the body and like a cold you feel drained. I was prepped up with prednisone which was great for a week now back in bed for 4 days. 🙄
