Subject: Is this a normal symptom????

I keep getting exream weakness in my arms ad legs and also keep comming over all sleepy, ive fallen asleep sitting at the table earlyer but the sleep bit happens suddenly. The other day i was giving my son a bottle at 9 in the morning and i went really weak and dozed off, my eldest son came and gave my youngest (who was on my knee) a toy and i didnt even wake up not for a good 5 min according to my partner.

Is this like extream fatigue or is it the RA or a side effect of mtx???? I took my 2nd dose saturday. Should i b mentioning it to someone?

Sorry for moaning but im starting to get a bit worried about it, as im having to make sure my other half is around coz falling asleep like this with a 2 year old running around isnt safe! (well not for my 'into everything' toddler) lol x

Extreme fatigue is both Arthritis and mtx related i'm afraid and it totally normal. I can be doing something one minute then asleep the next. This'll make u laugh I was chatting to a friend on the phone the other week and I fell asleep. She said it was hilarious because one min I was talking, next min I was snoring! I also have weak arms and legs it also gets worse depending what pain relief i'm taking. Go well X
