I started a new job recently and was unable to take off work to go to my next rheumatologist for my lupus. Since I did not go I since then have ran out of my medicines. It has been a little of 2 weeks since Ive taken my methotrexate and plaquenil. I just noticed 3 days ago that Im starting to get more fatigue. Could this be because of my lupus and not taking my meds? This is the first time in 2 yrs since I was diagnosed that I have not taken my meds.
Yes it is a possibility because increased disease activity may sometimes lead to increased fatigue. Fatigue may be related to other co-existing problems like anemia, fibromyalgia.
