Fatigue research So I got to thinking. Given that MS fatigue is the most complained about symptom, why are more bespoke treatments for MS fatigue not a huge priority? Most MS fatigue treatments are usually originally made for other diseases, ie: Modafinil was originally used to help narcoleps...

How do you explain to people the difference between MS fatigue and just being tired? Tried to explain it to management at work today after I asked to reduce my hours as I’m wiped out all the time? I’m dancing to understand that it’s not just tiredness so hard to explsin not just tiredness
