Default Fatigue--what does it mean to you?

I’m wondering what people mean by saying the word “fatigue” when talking about MS. I’m wondering because I get the impression that people usually mean that they feel like they need more sleep. Is that what most of you mean? I really don’t experience that more so than most “normal” people do. Lately, I’ve realized that what I’ve meant when using that term is muscle fatigue, that is, my legs feeling like I’ve climbed 20 flights of stairs (in the good old days--I can barely climb one flight now.)and like they’re going to give out. I’m sure that a lot of you get that leg feeling as well, but I suspect that’s a separate thing.

The reason I’m asking is that I have my first visit with an MS specialist on Dec 9, and have been putting a lot of thought into what I’m going to say to him. I don’t want to waste time talking about medications for something that’s not a problem for me.

TIA to anyone who can clear this up for me.
