Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Fatigue in gout can be due to anaemia/vitamin or mineral deficiency/complications of gout on kidney/associated autoimmune disease.

I advise investigations blood haemogram,blood test for RA factor,liver function tests,kidney function tests,blood glucose for diabetes.


There is no need to worry.It can be managed by iron and vitamins supplementation.
Keep follow ups with your doctor for gout treatment.
Have adequate intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits.Have Plenty of fluids.

Thanks.
