MS fatigue by the numbers

MS fatigue is real. If you don't have it, raise your hand!

ajmc.com/view/understanding...

It got so bad for me prior to DX - I had to sleep 12-14 hours per day. With 8 hours at work, my life shrank very quickly. House was unkept. I felt behind on all kinds of paperwork. The door was wide open for depression to set in.

6 months after starting on DMT, I felt I was alive again. Don't get me wrong, I do need to sleep a solid 9 hours. But at least I can function well. Once in a while, when I do too much, I have to spend a day in bed. But nothing like prior to DX.

i agree it can really get a person down if doing to much ....i really have to pay attention for if i don't it can interfere with things that we may be doing and planning on more to do ...love to go but sometimes i just have to go ahead i am going to take a nap ...did when the kids and me went to Disney Land it was so fun and my daughter kept asking if i wanted to go back and take a nap of course i said no and then late that evening i missed them going on the cars that go around the park it looks so fun ...oh well my loss but we did have lots of fun ...so yes i hope all realize that it can sneak up on you before you know it ...have fun ...loads of love and much happiness....enjoy this great beautiful weather...
