Hi Victorya!

I'm sorry the fatigue has caught up to you. I understand!

I would suggest you talk to your neuro about other fatigue treatments.

Currently, I'm taking Ritalin-SR (20mg) and Ritalin (20mg) 2 x day for the fatigue.

Everyone's fatigue is different and everyone reacts to medications differently. Hopefully you'll find something that will help you out.

I used to take Provigil. Then I took Amantadine 3 x day. Then I took both of them together.

Now I take Ritalin. ... not sure what else I can take.

For me, the fatigue can ramp up due to: sitting in front of the computer doing something repetitive for too long, or sitting for too long ... :tired:

I wish you well and hope you can get your fatigue under control!!

Cheers!

Niko

That stinks. Just for quality of life sake- is there any opportunity to work PT instead or do some work from home during part of the week (or get that nap you need in the middle of the day). I've never taken P, but I bet it's disappointing to have to up it. Hope it gives you some energy back.

aww... bummer, victorya...
these are the kinds of things that cause us to doubt, bring uncertainties, etc...

our ms is so unpredictable

try not to waste too much precious energy imagining the worse.

it is so natural to think, "uh oh ~ is this forever?
is this going to get worse?"
whatever your ms does, you are going to handle it with courage and class... cuz THAT is who you are.
