Wow, I can relate to what you're going through. After my diagnosis, I was in the midst of caring for my ailing parents remotely, traveling each weekend to see them out of town and it was wearing me out combined with work and home life. My MS and general health suffered greatly.
And don't apologize about making this about you. We all do that from time to time. We
need to do that to let out our frustrations.

Wow, I could have written that myself. I can
feel your pain. I just hate it that this happens to so many of us.
Please go easier on yourself, and really think about the article on fatigue that Cherie posted the link to. I re-read it myself, and it's right on. I hope things will settle down for you. Also, I hope your husband will start to feel better, that has to be so incredibly difficult not only for him but you too.
