Anyone with multiple sclerosis, lupus, HIV/AIDS or any other autoimmune disease knows that fatigue is one of the most troubling symptoms. Of course, fatigue alone isn’t a sign that you have an autoimmune disease, but if you’re also experiencing joint pain, reoccurring rashes or hives, unwanted weight loss, and/or unexplained hair loss, you need to see your doctor right away.
3. Depression
If your fatigue is accompanied by feelings of hopelessness, inability to concentrate, loss of appetite and/or thoughts of suicide, there’s a good chance that you could be suffering from depression. Reach out to someone ASAP. If you have suicidal thoughts, get help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255 anytime.
