Fatigue and MS
How would you describe your MS fatigue?
How has it impacted your life?
Fatigue has changed everything in my life. Many days I feel like I accomplish absolutely nothing because my body just can't move.
I have had some days like that. I question if it is MS fatigue or just fatigue from my night owl schedule. I still clean by pushing myself. I have had MS for 30 years. If I get tired I take a break then clean some more. Finally I am getting cleaning service at 78 years old. I flat run out of energy but a short resr and I am up cleaning again. The bad part— I have Allen 8 times with 4 concussions
my best to all of you
I wish there was a different word for MS fatigue. It is a sickness well beyond tiredness or even malaise or flu like feeling. For me it is increasing as time goes on. I have had MS 15 yrs. and could fight this “fatigue”with regular exercise, diet, sleep, meds etc. But as I weaken it now consumes me.

Your Dad was right I learned the same lesson by taking care of myom when I could hardly take care of of myself. Remember his words they are powerful and it will make you stronger.
I feel tired all the time. I only work 3 days a week now and my days off I do nothing cause I'm sore and tired from work. I do a little housework, might take a nap in the afternoon and cook tea and that's me day done. I don't sleep well which doesn't help....
we moved from California to Texas to be close to our kids (their idea). Now they are 1 hour away, so we don’t see them as much as we’d hoped. It’s just me n my husband (2dogs & a cat) here. We both work but my job isn’t working with other people, consequently I am here alone! All my friends are out of state. I haven’t been able to really make any friends. You know the kind you can talk to, play cards with, go shopping, watch a movie with. I just do all that by myself. i agree. For those of us that do not have an obvious disability it is hard for others to understand what it is like to have MS. I do tell myself, however, that I am still glad I can walk and function for the most part. I am not very motivated however to do a lot. I think aging is a bigger issue but coupled with a dx of MS probably slows me down a lot.
