I am 30 , recently i got diagoned with RA, taking methotrexate. i was the most energetic and healthy person in my class since childhood. Recently i experienced overwhelming sence of tiredness and fatigue, i was fighting against it, pushing myself, self criticising endup into mental and physical breakdown. I feel alot of relief when i found out its a normal symptoms of RA, thank you for beautiful and empathetic video. Feels alot of relief. Iam not alone.
I have had RA over 10 yrs and the fatigue will come and go. I walk a lot and just keep moving. I try to go to bed extra early and get extra sleep when I have these bad fatigue episodes.
Hello, I have a new case, my RF factor was over 650, my sed rate was 60. My doctor says I have severe RA. I am on methotrexate and I was fatigued before and I still am. After sleeping off and on all day yesterday, I slept through the night last night, woke up this morning and felt "off." I drove a mile to get a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich. i ate the sandwich and had about 4 drinks of the coffee, and I couldn't wait to lay down. I lay down and slept 3 more hours. This is ridiculous. Does eating food make this disease worse? Seems like maybe the energy to digest food takes you from low energy to empty energy instead of providing some oomph.
@@alexstokowsky6360 I feel you! My RA factors aren’t that level but I get super fatigued randomly I’ve been doing so good trying to gain weight but today I’ve only ate dry cereal and 2 ensures. I hate the feeling I can’t do it I try so hard to be positive daily I haven’t cried in days and now I can’t help but feel scared all over again. I was diagnosed at the end of last month
I got diagnosed in my 21st year after experiencing symptoms of stiffness and pain in joints and back for *one and half years* which soon deteriorated into unbearably debilitating fatigue and overall body ache. My only initial indication was the detection of a positive HLA B27 gene which my earlier doctors overlooked causing my condition to deteriorate so much. So have a complete blood scan including ESR and anti CCP, even though in case the Rheumatoid Factor might return negative but if you are going through so much agony, then the possibility of the aforementioned gene detection can shed light on whether you are potentially developing RA or not especially if there has been a genetic history in your family, either symptomatic or asymptomatic. I shared my story because I think there has been a misconception that only people of 40s or 50s age group are susceptible to such arthritic or rheumatic disorders. However, the truth is that in the recent years since the pandemic, there has been a rise in autoimmune diseases, which makes sense because intense viral infection are said to activate the gene causing this misery. I hope you find relief soon. Please don't hold back from testing due to the age factor because as I said, post covid, no one is really safe from the odds of having a haywire immune system. My teenage sibling also got diagnosed a few weeks ago. Also just to be on safe side, keep having multiple doctors' recommendations about your test report in case your complaints are met with disbelief or misdiagnosis by the first or second doctor as that's what happened with me. I wish you all the best :)
Hi I’m wondering if this type of fatigue is normal with all types of rheumatic diseases? I have SAPHO and have extreme exhaustion that comes and goes. It started before any medications. Do you have any videos on the more rare rheumatic diseases? Thanks
Hello doc, my mum has this type of arthritis she is 40 years old and it has gotten super bad for her, she takes every medication that the doctor reccomends and it does not help, she walks daily for a while but that obly made it worse, and soft workouts have not done much, i massage her leg which helps a bit but yea, and when my mum wakes up when she wakes up she wakes up super stiff, and my mums diet is not anything bad and she eats fruits daily, what should I do? 😢
doctor Diana must we take anti inflamatory meds every day or when we feel pain for while .what do advice about exercises for scianifica pain and hip pain?🙏❤
@@rheumatologistoncall When OTC is pushed because no one really wants to treat pain you get stuck taking NSAIDS for weeks in a bad flair. Better pain management is necessary.

I don't know if anybody has the answer to this I hear so much about medications to take. But they're all bad for your liver. Sounds like a no-win situation here and take the medications. And it can ruin the inside of your organs what to do I don't know. Is anybody have any good answers for me today. I have had our RA. For a year. And just been taking ibuprofen for inflammation. In pain. Seems to help. But this also is bad for your liver.??????
It's tough when medications have potential side effects, but it's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the best solution for you.

Thank you Doc! I love how clear your explanations and how accurately you describe fatigue which even I cannot explain
I'm glad to hear that my explanations resonate with you! It's always my goal to make complex topics easier to understand.
Thanks dr. I learn a lot from you how I can manage my RA.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻
I am at my wits end with my RA. I am tired (all pun intended) of living like this.
I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It can be tough to deal with RA.
Your diet is the most important in the fight to combat inflammation ?
@@PaulGreenwald why you put a question mark? Do you not know???

hello can you reccomend what to do
Take hydrocychlororoqin 200 od, METHOTREXATE 10 mg once weekly and salfasalazine 1 gm od
Most RA medication just made pain and fatigue worse.
Are you serious 😭😭 ughhh idk what I’m supposed to do I’m losing weight fast lowest recently 88.8 pounds 🤦🏽♀️
@@g0thica did you start losing when you got it
Dr G.are there any differences in nutrition recommendations in RA and Ankylosis Sp9ndylitis?
No
