I found this old information about getting fatigued and why.

Fatigue (Lassitude) Is a debilitating kind of overall weariness, which is unpredictable and out of proportion to the activity.

Any increase in your body temperature will temporarily worsen fatigue; conversely, air-conditioning or a cool drink will lower your temperature, enabling you to feel better and continue.

Some Causes Of Fatigue
*Nerve Fiber Fatigue (Conduction Failure)
*MS Process Fatigue (Due To Inflammation)
*Fatigue Of Handicap (Increased Effort)

*Fatigue from a current infection
*Iatrogenic Fatigue (Caused By Medication)
*Fatigue from disrupted Sleep
*Fatigue associated with Depression

Even a good night's sleep does not always relieve MS Fatigue. You wake exhausted, feeling like it is again time for bed:

It may take a few days of total rest, to recover from any over-doings. Fatigue is one of the most common, earliest, and troubling Multiple Sclerosis symptom.
Amen to that.

would love to read the 'spoon theory'.....

I am thinking that maybe the pathophysiology of why our legs, hips and bodies hurt so much the next day.....maybe the over doing it, causes increased spasticity and cramping, and therefore increased muscle pain the next day??

A wise old gnome once said "for every day I choose to play I set aside a day to pay". Or something along those lines.
