Fatigue with work

Hi, I am due to start working full time soon after working part time since 2003 when my son was born. I have relapsing remitting MS with not many symptoms but I am a bit concerned about the fatigue side of things. Does anybody have any advice about this? If there are any natural meds I could take that would be great (I take Rebif at the mo). Thanks Al

Hi @almack and welcome. Is fatigue a symptom that is presently causing you a problem? Or are you planning for the future? Otherwise, it's all a case of planning your day to try and avoid long periods of intense physical or mental activity. You could also try talking to your MS Nurse about it. There is a medication that can help, if your GP is happy to prescribe it. It's called Modafinil, and it occasionally gets bad press :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-35541107

Thanks for your reply. Yes fatigue is a symptom that I have had for years (diagnosed in 98) so I am feeling a bit worried about full time works effect on that. Thanks for your advice. I will definitely talk to my MS nurse. No harm in asking my GP about Modafinil, I think I have heard the bad press about it but we'll see. Thanks Al
