Fatigue


An excellent article on MS fatigue, both physical and mental, and how the body deals with it, reacts with it, how the person with MS presents when dealing with it. Click on the title to read it...
I can see myself in this article - being able to do math in my head on a Monday morning, barely able to add 2+2 by Friday evening. My son bought me a Nintendo DS with Brain Gym for it and I can see my performance ebb and flow depending on my fatigue level.
My first few days off on disability...Left work on Tuesday, never to return. I feel as if I SHOULD be doing all sorts of things but I can't. Content to curl up with a book like a weary pussycat, I can barely get the oomph to do my dishes.
