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.

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Dylan, a 38-year-old guy living with MS out here in Saskatchewan. I run a legal weed dispensary (yes, I’m that guy), and I use dark humor, sarcasm, and a whole lot of cannabis to get through the weirdness that is life with MS.I figured it was time to find a space with people who get it the fatigue, the brain fog, the “oh cool, my leg’s just doing its own thing now” moments. I’m just here to connect, share some laughs (the darker the better), and not feel like I’m the only one in the snow belt dealing with this.If you're in or around Saskatchewanor even if you're not say hi. I don’t bite. Unless it's a bad MS day and my jaw spasms. (Kidding. Mostly.)Looking forward to getting to know some fellow weirdos on this ride

Fatigue ughhh

My fatigue… level- ridiculous! My neuro has me on 300mg of Modanifil 200 in am, 100 in afternoon. It hardly helps. Has anyone found anything to help combat fatigue? It’s my most debilitating symptom. Side note- I once had a special DNA test done to see which meds would work best for me by my psychia...

MS who?

Completed a biathlon yesterday (2 miles kayak, 12 miles bike). There were 83 participants (men and women of all ages). I’ve done a couple triathlons in previous years, so I thought “this could be easy”. Wrong!! The worst part was the bike. Leg fatigue. However - I finished and took 6th place among a...

HELP!! Looking for advice/opinions.

So I was diagnosed with MS 2023. I had my first consultation with the Neuro today after 2yrs (I know very long time). I had 2 relapses in 2023 (pins/needles & numbness in 2 different areas). But I have had no relapses ever since then. Just on and off fatigue. I am otherwise very well & fit in myse...

Anyone else on Zoloft having issues with regulating body temperature? I’ve been on it for a few months now and I seem to be overheating more than usual and not being able to cool down and then fatigue gets so much worse.

A "fait accompli"..my new reality?

Heya, Don't know if i have a question, statement or observation. Or all of the above. During these last 2 years, things really took a turn for the worse, ms wise. And subsequently, psychologically as well. No major relapses, but clearly a steady decline. And new meds, which cause side-effects that a...

Checking in...

Recently, I've been dealing with a major case of fatigue. And I'm sure it's because of the SoCal heat 🔥 we've been having. But today, all my symptoms are hitting me all at once. Fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, my tinnitus and neuropathy. All of it. Some days, I don't know how I get through. It's har...

Vision and Heat

So all my regular symptoms always worsen in the heat. Heavy legs. Headaches. Fatigue. This year I'm noticing that my vision is also suffering. More blurred vision if it's hot weather. My optic neuritis seems to stay the same but my overall vision is worse on hotter days. Anyone else experience this...
