I've listened to you all talk about this, and I've read about it as well. From what I can gather, MS fatigue is way worse than "I'm tired." It's "I need to lie down right now and sleep because I physically cannot do anything else." Is that right? Is it that all-encompassing exhaustion where you simply cannot do anything else, where you have no choice at all but to lie down? I have felt that from time to time but only a day here and there over the year. I ask because I am normally the type of person who gets by just fine on 6-7 hours of sleep every night, without a problem. But in the last few weeks, I'm just tired all the time. I sleep 8 hours on weekdays, and closer to 9-10 on the weekend, but I never seem to kick the tiredness. I'm not to the point like I said up above. I still function. I went hiking last weekend (sure, it was harder than normal, but I still went). I work full time, I go home & cook dinner, do laundry, walk the dog, etc. but I am DRAGGING all day, from morning to night. It's like a low-level exhaustion all day long, but it doesn't keep me from getting up and doing stuff. Just wondering if that's MS fatigue or if I'm just worn out or there's something else going on. This isn't normal for me, but it doesn't seem to be the horrible fatigue I hear about other people with MS talking about. Thanks! Michelle
