I depend on my sound machine. Electricity went out this morning so I didn't get the good nights rest I usually do. I tried to go back to sleep when the electricity came back on but no go. So I am tired all day long. Sometimes I have a problem trying to determine if what I have is just tiredness or good ol' fatigue. I don't know if it is in my mind or not but I can work through tiredness but not fatigue. Maybe I am giving myself permission to give into the fatigue but not being tired.

Normal fatigue is a more pronounced tiredness and is usually due to extra exertion with a lack of sleep, thrown in.
MS Fatigue is due to the disease. You don't have to do anything to have it...it's just a perk for MS.  The cure for normal fatigue/tiredness is a good nights sleep!!

I must have a lot of the run of the mill tiredness/fatigue because I seem to be needing more sleep lately. Maybe it's the heat or maybe I just need to set an alarm clock. Maybe there still is a tiny bit of depression hanging around

To me, tiredness is a lack of sleep - whereas MS fatigue is when someone lets the air out of my tyres and I can't push myself to do anything. It is almost overwhelming and happens out of the blue - usually in the afternoon.

I've quit announcing that I'm tired. I hear the "yeah, I know how you feel. I'm tired, too" response too much.
For me, there is such a huge difference between just being tired and having the dreaded MS fatigue. If I do get the fatigue and someone comments on it or asks about it I tell them I have "MSF" (multiple sclerosis fatigue).  It sounds more severe than just being tired (because it is) plus it shuts up the folks who want to play the "I'm more tired than you are" game.
