I was reading a book by Dr. Meghan MacLean Weir, "Between Expectations", about her experiences in pediatric residency. The following quote struck me, and I plan to share it with non-MS friends and family:

***"She likely thinks that paying attention, absorbing this careless narrative, is costing me nothing. She has no reason to know that there are depths of fatigue to which you can sink where even the act of processing sound is too much to ask."***

I especially agree with her insight that the person who was talking to her had "no reason to know" about that kind of fatigue.
