I Have R A And For Almost 6 Years And I Experience Extreme Fatigue. I Asked My Rheumatologist If R A Causes Fatigue And She Said No. UGH.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can absolutely cause fatigue. Chronic inflammation, joint pain, sleep disturbances, and related conditions like anemia or depression are common contributors to fatigue in RA.

It never ceases to amaze me how surprisingly uninformed some doctors are about basic information. Not just rheumatologists. I hardly know what to say at some appointments. I usually wait until my next appointment when I've figured out how to explain facts in easy to understand language. Bless their hearts.
Fatigue is one of the major symptoms of RA and some other autoimmune diseases. It’s a bit scary that Rheumatologist doesn’t know that. She should educate her pts, and know much more and in depth her specialty.
