Does osteoarthritis of knees, spine, hands make u tired?

my mum has osteoarthritis so it makes her very tired. so we were just wondering how it effects it. also she is 41

41 is a bit young to have severe Osteoarthritis. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and only last year did the Osteoarthritis start in the joints of my hands. Osteoarthritis is 'wear and tear' although their is a genetic link. Among the over 100 different types of arthritis conditions, osteoarthritis is the most common, affecting over 20 million people in the United States. Osteoarthritis occurs more frequently as we age. Before age 45, osteoarthritis occurs more frequently in males. After age 55 years, it occurs more frequently in females.

You do not state who diagnosed Osteoarthritis, let alone if your Mum has seen a Rheumatologist or had x-rays taken?
With over 100 different 'forms' of Arthritis, I would suggest your Mum see a Doctor and then a Rheumatologist, just to rule out other forms of Arthritis and other problems that can mimic Arthritis. 41 is young for Osteoarthritis. Best of Luck

If the pain is affecting her sleep it could be that which is making her tired. Also living in near constant pain can be very draining.I sympathize with her as I know what it is like also if she is like me she will get annoyed at herself when her illness affects the rest of the family. Hope this helps a little bit. The tiredness is not a symptom of the disease but indirectly it is the cause of it. Feel free to email me if you want to know anything else or if mum wants someone to talk to alright.

I really like to share this good but very cheap healing method with you guys

This Is Call The SMOKELESS MOXI ROLL (China) $ under $ 5.00

Ingredient: folium artemisiae argyi
rhizma,alpiniae,japonicae

China has been existing for thousands thousands of year, and this method is to light up the roll and point to your problem area of your body, ( basically, i point to my whole body), and let the heat work their magic for me, every day i light up 1 roll, takes about an hour to burn, at least, and i have headache, so i point to my head, (you will feel the heat of the roll when you light it, so keep to a distance that you can take it) and joint pain , and stomachache ( because i drink too much cold drinks), every problem area , and i can feel the heat slowly go into my problem area and i feel very release after healing ....

And my headache seems not coming back after i used about 5 rolls...amazing...

Secondly
Please
TRY DRINKING APPLE CIDER VINEGAR...

To maximize the benefits of apple cider vinegar, a general dosage of one teaspoon is usually recommended stirred into a 6 or 8 oz. glass of water. Most people cannot drink even this level of dilution of apple cider vinegar and usually add a tablespoon of honey, preferably organic. This dosage can be repeated at each meal, but most find this difficult. Many people find it much more palatable to pour some over their favorite salad.
Vinegar helps:

* Clear your sinusitis Stop hair loss
* Remove toxins from your body Stop a leaky nose
* Prevent mild food poisoning Relieve your joint pains
* Rid your constipation Combat fungal and bacterial infections
* Prevent indigestion Lower your cholesterol
* Lower your blood pressure Prevent obesity, lose weight
* Lower incidents of weak bones Relieve arthritis

I am drinking it regularly, and all my joint pain gone......
go search " APPLE CIDER VINEGAR"
