Hi and thanks for the query. ChatDoctor and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today. I am so sorry to hear that you have so much fatigue and tiredness. Tiredness and fatigue may be related to lupus, or it may be a complication of tool or effector. It is really a very difficult situation, you can discuss with you doctor and probably he or she wants to change medicine one by one and see the response. At present, with your history, it seems that your tiredness is related to lupus only. But your doctor can tell you better. Hope this helps and provides answers to your question. I wish you good health.
