What Do Night Sweats And Fatigue When Diagnosed With Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Hi Dr. Rynne, My name is Kelly and I am a 50 y/o Caucasian female. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis five years ago. Currently, I have symptoms of brittle nails, my hair falls out, dark circles, extreme fatigue, major stress and anxiety, weight gain in my thighs, night sweats, head and body aches along with cravings for sweets and carbohydrate. I had a 3 level ACDF in July so I ve been healing. Is it possible that I have Adrenal Fatigue?

Hi,
You have symptoms of systemic disease (RA) as well as post menopausal flares. If you have previously used steroids, it is also possible that you have adrenal fatigue due to low steroid level. You may consult your GP for appropriate management. All the best.
