I like to think of my MS pain and fatigue as like, "hallucinations". They seem real, but in fact, the pain is not truly true pain in that it's not th etype of pain that has a job of warning us not to move.

For example, if you break your leg, the pain serves a function so that we won't try to walk on it.

But, MS pain serves no function (other than to make us miserable)... so, I just ignore the pain and keep moving. Case in point, last month I had terrible MS pain in my hand, wrist and fingers. I ignored it and continued to swim... I do think that exercise has anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore, can help the MS (and th epain)....

Same with the fatigue. I pretend its a hallucination, and I exercise despite it. The exercise does provide some brief energizing effect too.

Well, I hope this idea helps people.

My exercise choice is to swim a mile daily. Maybe swimming is better to counteract fatigue than other forms of exercise: this I do not know.
