Fatigue and menopause

susiec

Has anyone else found their fatigue levels increasing when they reach menopause? Diagnosed with RA 18 years ago, I’m on Methotrexate

Good Morning @susiec

I see you have had RA for some considerable time and are now feeling very fatigued so wondering whether there is a link.

This is very interesting. I have done a 'search on found no recent discussions, but this might be of interest:

In addition this might be worth a read:

Best wishes

Thanks Ellen I had found the first but not the second one, I’m interested in hearing if others have noticed this connection
