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.

I got diagnosed four years ago. This is the first time I’m talking to anybody outside of my family, but I still feel like I can get more information if anybody has any tips or any helpful ways to help me deal with the daily fatigue and lack of energy. It’d be much appreciated.
