In MS fatigue is very common. Fatigue is different from normal tiredness or exhaustion and can cause sudden losses of energy which may interrupt your daily life. It affects everyone differently but often feels like being weighed down or trying to wade through quicksand.

Fatigue

Feeling frustrated. I’m so over this fatigue. All I’m doing is sleeping. I went from being a very active person to just sleeping.

Balance & Fatigue

Hi fellow warriors. I'm having more regular balance issues and feeling very very tired. Is this down to MS progression? I'm on Tecfidera and Gabapentin plus Amitriptoline. Just feel totally knackered also think I'm getting a bad cold as my head really sore too. My balance hasn't been great either

Fatigue

What works for you with fatigue? I know we are all wildly different & one size does not fit all. But I'd love to hear some options of things to maybe try out. 😊

Fatigue

Ok, so how does everyone deal with their fatigue effectively? I just can't. I still work 30 hours.in care, and that still leaves things needing doing at home. So on m6 days off, I'm washing clothes, hoovering etc. I keep going until I'm worn out which has put me in a constant deficit. I try to slac...

Fatigue

Only based on your experience, what's your outlook on ms fatigue? What have you done to help with it? What has helped you the most? I'm trying to get a better hold on it for myself. It's so exhausting in so many ways!
