Default Sooooo Sleepy

I've had fatigue before. I felt totally drained even though I had done nothing. My legs felt like cement and it wore me out to just walk down the hall.

But this week I've had a different symptom. I'm so sleepy. Within an hour after getting up in the morning I can nod off if I sit still long enough. I've been purposely keeping myself awake so that I can at least take a nap after lunch time and not feel like I've spent the day in the bed.

The only way I can describe how this feels is this: you know how you feel after you've stayed up all night? You're tired and sleepy but you also feel drained.....like you've pushed too hard or done too much and just depleted all your strength. Sorta like a wet noodle.

I've just started taking B-12 so I know I have to give that time to kick in. This feels different from the MS fatigue I've had before. I'm not just tired. I'm sleepy, too. Anyone else experienced this?
