Is Constant Joint Pain Causing Fatigue? It May Be a LUPUS Flare Up

Stress is part of our common lives and is needed to keep us mentally focused and challenged. Overwhelming stress can have negative effects on our lives and even lead to health issues.

If you suffer from joint pain and feel fatigued, your body may be reacting to excessive stress signals and triggering your SLE or "systemic lupus erythematosus". LUPUS is an auto-immune disease that has no cure and can cause aching joints, rashes and an overwhelming desire to sleep. Proper maintenance and self awareness is key to managing this disease.

If stress is a factor, these few tips may help you battle pressure that may trigger SLE responses:

1. Follow a good diet and exercise regimen. Creating an healthy environment for your body can increase your ability to handle flare-ups when they do occur.


2. Meditation is another option that can be pursued. Developing a way to put mind and body at ease can help reduce stress levels when outside influences can be overwhelming. Finding a few minutes out of each day will help your mind become more at ease and stress-free.


3. Enter a Yoga program to help your body become more centered and flexible.


4. Reduce your intent to do everything yourself. Delegation is a great way to get things done, but taking on all the tasks yourself can increase pressure to perform.


5. Become well organized and only take on manageable responsibilities. Organization is another key element in maintaining control of your life and reducing anxiety.

In summary, LUPUS will always be a part of your life until there is a cure. Management through stress relief and health maintenance can assist you in preventing flare-ups that can cause joint pain and fatigue.
