I have been lucky enough to not really have been dealing with fatigue in the last few weeks, really lucky! plus I'm on disability right now so I'm not working so just don't kill yourself if work is already running me down, good luck!

the nonsense paperwork i had to fill out for disabilty the reluctance of docs to diagnose is exhausting Matt, and you out there I have had ny faith challeneged so many times and I think this is the ONE time somthing is gonna give and we are going to see meds to bring us back out motor skills and strength. I walked 4 miles on Sunday the return trip home was all about pain, cramping and then the last mile, some imbalance A LITTLE AT a time and I will To " get there AND MAINTAIN IT

Thats inspiring. I have a treadmill but I dont have much energy. All my energy goes into my 40 hr work week. If you can do it...then maybe I can do it too. I can walk but my legs are getting weaker and all I want to do is sit and rest them. I hate MS fatigue.
