I'm not sure if this applies for MS as when my nanan had it there wasn't much research but when I spoke to my doctor about my illness (CRPS), he told me that Neurological conditions often affect the Limbic part of the brain and that is why we often feel tired and angry. I mentioned it to my dad but he still doesn't "get it" and it really frustrates me!!
Please know that you aren't alone and we are all here for you because we DO understand!

Ali, that's what irritates me so much....people who think it's just a "mind over matter" situation and I should just work harder at trying to "overcome" my MS.  There's not enough "eye-roll" icons for me here!!!
