Only two lesions, but still fatigued

Hi. I was recently diagnosed with MS. Fortunately I've got only two lesions, and don't yet have many apparent signs of MS. I still get fatigued quite easily though, but considering I've only got two lesions I wonder if it's likely that the fatigue is caused by MS, or the low number of lesions would suggest that my fatigue is not MS related. I'm under the impression that it's the number of and location of lesions that determine how it affects a person, and that only two lesions is such a low number that it's not likely to affect me much at all. I do have other health issues as well, but none that I would expect causing fatigue.

@saft , MS, and lesions, cause damage which affects some of the many neural pathways that the brain uses to make our bodies to function. So, it would be difficult to pinpoint a specific symptom to a lesion. And MRI scans don't offer a complete picture of everything that is going on. Fatigue is one of the most frustrating symptoms of MS. So, can I suggest that you accept that you are now suffering with fatigue and start working on effectively managing this symptom? 😉
