pretty much what the others have said.
i have a lot of muscle pain. also a dx if fibromyalgia. altho one neuro thinks it's MS pain. some drs don't agree but most of us do that MS er's have pain.
i've learned to give in to my fatigue. taking a nap really helps my pain.
one of the best things i learned my first yr with MS was to listen to my body.
if i was out doing errands and pushed to finish my "list" of things to do i payed a price. if i went home to rest i did much better.
i also learned to be gentle with myself. and the best thing i learned was to have patience with myself. i got slower, had to make a few adjustments, like using a cane. it's been 11 yrs and i still drive and i'm independent.
