Does anyone else experience crippling fatigue. Most days I can't even function. I'm on amantidine which my neurologist increased from 100mg twice a day to 200mg twice a day. I was only able to take this for 1 week because it caused insomnia and yes I took 1 dose at breakfast and one at 12pm. I try a...

Hello I am new to this site.I was diagnosed with MS couple of years ago. And wow how things have changed, it took me a long time for it to sink in.I used to be very active and because of the fatigue and now,I have to use a cane because my legs are so weak and in pain all day.

I’ve always thought I didn’t need any support because I can be independent all the time. But these days I have extreme fatigue and trouble concentrating. So I decided… tomorrow I’ll ask for a certificate of exemption from university lessons. It makes me nervous to talk about it with strangers, but I...

The last couple of weeks my fatigue is so bad. Literally feel like all I wanna do is sleep. I have a 3 year old and work 5 days a week so this is pretty much impossible.

Hello! I'm newly diagnosed and my worst symptom is profound fatigue. I understand why it's the most common reason pwMS stop working. Does anyone know of any good courses to take on managing fatigue, pacing, etc in MS? Or other good resources? Thanks

Diagnosed in 2012. Cognitive and fatigue forced me to stop working. I’ve seen a lot of people asking about explaining fatigue and brain fog and I thought I would share how I explain it (and seems to work). Spoon theory is a great way to explain it. For fatigue. I’ve also explained like this. Every...
