🎙️ Episode 4 – Fatigue in Rheumatology: It’s Not Just the Inflammation

“My CRP is normal, doctor. So why am I still exhausted?”

In this powerful episode of RheumRounds, Dr. Aravind Palraj dives deep into one of the most frustrating clinical realities — persistent fatigue in patients with autoimmune diseases, even when inflammation is controlled.

🧠 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why fatigue doesn’t always correlate with disease activity

• The difference between inflammatory and non-inflammatory fatigue

• Practical strategies to evaluate and manage fatigue in RA, SLE, and Sjögren’s

🌟 Fatigue is real, disabling, and often dismissed. This episode reminds us that treating the disease doesn’t always mean treating the patient.
