The first year after dx is a very emotional time, and the grieving/adjustment process alone can be exhausting. After you you have 'some' sense of acceptance, the fatigue may let up.

Not everyone has fatigue as a symptom, or at least not a major one, in the long run.

In the meantime, you need to pace yourself. For some of us, that means doing more one hr or one day, then taking it easier another. For some it means that ALL they can accomplish in a day is working.

I learned to manage my pace, and it worked for 14 yrs. When the MS became a full-time job, ie. I couldn't even squeeze in 6 hrs of work, even though I worked from home on flex-time, I knew I had to leave the workforce.

The more stress you are under too, the more fatigue will be a problem.
