I was just sitting here wondering if I'm trying to come down with something or am I just in an MS Summer Fatigue Attack.

It seems like all I want to do is sleep. I wake up at 9am and ready to go back to bed at 11am, then up at 1pm and back to nap at 4pm, up at 8pm and have to force myself to stay up til 11pm. This is what's been happening with me for the past week or so.

This usually doesn't happen to me, unless I'm out in the heat and humidity too long, but I haven't been out, so what gives.

Anybody else or am I just nutz? I'm not sick, just exhausted...and for no apparent reason. I understand why this is happening to Cheryl and others who are out there working in the heat, but why me, sitting here in my A/C house?

Ok enough of my WHINE...cheese anyone?

Hello Dear Sally,
I'm sorry you're feeling so exhausted. I recall that you were going to see about a change in you medications. Did your Dr. ever switch your anti-depressant dose? Perhaps this is causing some of your constant fatigue. I believe it often takes a good 6-8 weeks for the body to adjust to new dosages of medications. Could this be the culprit of your fatgue?

I hope you're feeling better soon, Sally. You know I'm always thinking of you.

Get some rest, and if this continues, put in a ring to your Dr.

All the best,
Chris

Right there with ya', Sal. The MS is all fun and games till someone loses an eye.

Sometimes, just looking out the window makes me tired. Getting dressed is now its own separate event and often precludes the outing itself.

I just want a body transplant, why is that so hard?

Sorry Sal...thinking makes me tired!

Hi Sally - yep, I hear ya! All I want to do right now is SLEEP, but it doesn't help. Honestly.

You live in Ohio, it's always humid there this time of year. I am so glad I don't have to deal with that! I am not looking forward to DC next week. I know the heat and humidity are going to kill me.

Sally, I don't know it it's psychological or not, but I have more fatigue in the summer even if i stay inside most of the time. Isn't there some kind of vitamin you get from sunshine? Maybe it's a lack of that vitamin that makes us fatigued. But I know what you're talking about here. Good luck with it. I'll try to download a picture of my granddaughter. it will make anyone smile and feel better!

MS fatigue can suck the life right out of you Heat and/or humidity makes you too very tired. Last summer and this, even indoors with the air conditioning, hot/humid weather makes me extra tired.

Take care.
