Guilty as charged: fatigue at work

Hello everyone, I'm currently at work and am having major fatigue problems. I can't walk up the stairs and even typing this note is taking a helluva lot of energy.

MS and Diet

Has anyone here tried to go on a dairy-free and gluten-free diet to help improve or alleviate their MS symptoms? I hear so much about MS practically being "cured" when a person gets all dairy and gluten out of their diet. Has anyone tried it and how well did it work?
