Ulcerative Colitis: Symptoms And Causes

Fatigue

So, so many autoimmune conditions carry fatigue around as a symptom. Ulcerative colitis, men, is no different. Everyone knows it! It's because the immune system is working harder and harder to keep going. Much harder than a healthy one has to! So much harder! Many, many men with ulcerative colitis also lose a lot of blood. Blood loss causes fatigue too!

Men, you need to get lots and lots of sleep at night to help with this. Try for at least 8 hours every night. You need to give your immune system as much energy and time as you can. But of course, talk to a doctor if you're concerned about ulcerative colitis. More treatment is needed to fix the problem so your fatigue goes away!
