Fatigue is a common symptom of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Here are some tips that might help manage it:

1. Medication Review: Consult your doctor or pharmacist to see if any of your medications might be contributing to your fatigue. They might adjust the dosage or timing.

2. Nutrition and Supplements: Ensure you're getting enough nutrients, especially vitamins A, D, E, and K. Consult your doctor before taking any supplements.

3. Light Therapy: Using a light therapy box (10,000 lux) in the morning might improve sleep and reduce daytime sleepiness.

4. Short Naps: A 20-minute power nap can boost your energy without interfering with nighttime sleep.

5. Exercise: Gentle activities like walking or using an indoor exercise bike can help. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine.

6. Social Support: Connecting with others who have PBC can provide emotional support and practical advice.

If your fatigue is worsening, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
