Default Fatigue and SFN

I recently reread Nancy Mairs's essay about her experiences as an MS patient ("On Being A Cripple," 1986). In it, she notes that fatigue is a universal and untreatable symptom of MS.

My SFN has come with the symptom of great fatigue. My days are shorter, and my best moments are few and not at the energy level of my pre-diagnosis days.

Do we know if fatigue is a characteristic and untreatable symptom of SFN, or is there a way to overcome it? I mean, is there a way to really resolve it, not just "have a better attitude," etc.?
