For about a year now I have been battling extreme fatigue, I have had MS fatigue in the past but not to this extent. All I want to do is sleep, even when I don’t want to I fall asleep. I won’t even remember going to sleep, I’ll sit down to read or watch tv and next thing I know I’m waking up.
Has anyone else experienced fatigue like this? If so what do you do for it?
Not sure if this helps, but I had bone crushing fatigue. Part of the problem was I could not get a good solid amount of sleep - even though I was constantly exhausted. Anyway, even though I don't snore ... turns out I had sleep apnea. Getting a CPAP made a huge difference for me. I gather women over 40 can develop sleep apnea even though they don't snore and that can disrupt restful sleep. Good luck.
I've been on Provigil in the past but it only helped minimally. My doctor prescribed adderall 10 mg which helps when I need to remain awake. I take one tab before going to a doctor appointment or out to lunch. If I didn't have this medication I'd be in bed all day too. Fatigue is my worst symptom also.
