Arthritis Foundation added: “Fatigue significantly affects the quality of life for people with many forms of arthritis-related diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis.
“Your lack of energy may be caused by your inflammatory disease and other health conditions you have, as well as medications, side effects and lifestyle habits.
“Your fatigue is not always directly related to your arthritis disease activity, inflammation or pain. In fact – according to a 2017 study published in Current Rheumatology Reports – your fatigue level probably has more to do with other contributing factors, including obesity, physical inactivity, sleep disturbance and depression.”
