Show your fatigue management plan to members of the team. They may be able to refer you to other resources. Support groups can help you feel understood and can give you new ideas to help cope with problems. Listening to others and helping them helps me feel better. Groups may be run by professionals, or they may be self-help groups led by people with arthritis.
Some groups focus on specific topics.
Others focus on the special concerns of the group members. Contact your local Arthritis Foundation chapter or ask your health care provider about local groups for people with arthritis. Sometimes you can better help yourself with the help of others like you. Any major change in your life, such as an illness or continual problems such as fatigue or pain, may make you feel depressed, angry, helpless, or even hopeless. Some people feel so bad that they cannot sleep or eat.
