This might sound odd, but it helps me. I take two Advil before I do anything. I may need a muscle relaxer too, depending on the day. but I heard at an ms conferance that the theory is, if Advil keeps a fever down, it should keep the body temp normal in other activities, too. Keep the temp normal,keep the symptoms down.

Maybe that's why it helps, maybe there's another reason, I don't know.

Still, one tour of Wally world is enough for me on a good day. I do what I can and say so when I've had enough walking. I use a cane if I need one and I sit when I need to rest.

Like Dejibo says, if one med isn't right, there are others. And there are lots of coping skills besides meds. I always think if you listen to your instincts, you do best.

Hope this passes soon for you.
