If you have a chronic illness like Lupus, MS, or psoriatic arthritis, you know that one of the biggest ongoing problems that you face is fatigue. If the disease itself isn't making you tired, the odds are good that some of the medications you're on are doing it. Effective disease management is sometimes the same as effective life management—in order to make life easier for yourself when you're feeling fatigued, consider some of the following ideas.

1. Hire A Cleaning Service

Keeping up with the housework can be difficult for anyone to manage, but it can be overwhelming for anyone dealing with chronic fatigue. Instead of spending your limited energy on dusting and cleaning, consider hiring a cleaning service to handle the basic chores for you. It generally costs between $120-$150 to clean a single-family home.

2. Use On-Demand Personal Taxis

When fatigue has you in its grip, driving can be both an overwhelming chore and dangerous. Fatigue can make it hard to keep your focus and respond quickly enough to changing situations—or even stay awake. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that at least 100,000 crashes a year are the result of driver fatigue. Instead of taking the risk, hire a car service instead. Uber and similar on-demand services make it easy to get where you need to go, even when you're too tired to drive.

3. Subscribe To Medication Management

It can get exhausting keeping up with the medications you take to control your condition, especially if you take several each day. Consider using a medication management service. Medication management can make sure that your prescriptions don't have any conflicts, refills are done on time, and medications are delivered to you—which means that you can reserve your energy for other things.

You can also subscribe to services that will even deliver your pills in easy-to-use packets, divided up by date and time. That means you don't have to rely on your memory to help you take the right pills at the right time. Since more than 95,000 medication errors happen each year, taking steps to avoid becoming part of those statistics is always a wise move.

4. Invest In Concierge Storage

A lot of clutter can make your surroundings feel unpleasant and drain you of extra time and energy, which is not what you need when dealing with chronic fatigue. It's also easily eliminated. If you've wanted to put excess clutter into storage for a while now but can't muster the energy to pack it all up and cart it off to the unit, concierge storage is a perfect solution.

Concierge storage will deliver boxes to your door. You fill them, and the concierge will come back and inventory them, seal them, and take them away. When you want something back out of storage, you just contact the concierge and ask them to bring it back. This is a great way to get rid of things like holiday decor or mementos that you don't have room to keep without draining you energy reserves in the process.

Dealing with a chronic condition is never easy, but you can make it easier on yourself by making use of some modern services that are available and ready to help.

For storage units, contact a company such as Access Self Storage.
