hey there!

I'm sorry to hear you're still not doing so well!

If you do end up having MS, then this is completely normal.

Fatigue is like NUMBER 1 symptom of MS. Which really sucks (I feel like I sleep my life away).

I have found that when you are feeling tired and really worn out, you must rest. Not necessarily take a nap, but rest your body and mind for at LEAST 20 minutes. It sucks having to do this, especially days you're very productive and have to take a whole bunch of resting breaks but that's just life with MS as I am finding.

I have also found that when I push myself when I am feeling very fatigued everything starts to malfunction. My vision becomes doubled, I can't think right, stumbling into everything, and the feeling inside my body is awful, after a certain point your body (if it is anything like mine) will shut itself down if you don't rest. I have just passed out multiple times and woke up the next day like whoooaaaa what happened last night.. then my boyfriend says... you fell asleep in the middle of our conversation, sittin up! lol that's when I know I had pushed too far.

So, it sucks, but just rest when you feel tired. It will buy you more time in the day.

Hope this helps!
Be Well!
