Other times though, I am less fatigued and more amibitious. That is when I will tackle whatever needs to get done.

Cherie, your understanding of what Bird meant might be right and mine wrong
MS fatigue can knock me on my butt and I have been know to hold down the chair for of a day, two or three but I have also found exercise to make a difference in my fatigue.
Some days I can be fatigued and decide to use the treadmill and feel much better afterwards. Other days I get on it and within just a couple of minutes I know I have to give in to the fatigue and relax, nothing is going to get done.
Another option to be aware of are sleep disorders which can be related to MS. A simple sleep study can rule out a sleep disorder.
