Living with arthritis

It’s the fatigue that gets you most. You don’t feel as if you’ve done anything that would make you tired, yet you can’t think because your brain has switched off, you can’t concentrate or focus on anything because your eyelids are so heavy making reading difficult. Coffee and energy drinks have no effect on you. The tiredness sweeps over you covering you in its cloak until you give in and go to bed, hoping you wake up and are refreshed enough to do something for a couple of hours before the cloak of fatigue hits you again.
