I've come to the realization that I may need to address my fatigue. I have an appointment with my neurologist next month and I'm thinking about asking to be put on medication to combat my debilitating fatigue. As much as I don't want to take another pill 💊, I realize it might be necessary.
It's important to understand that MS fatigue is a real medical symptom, not laziness. Before starting medication, consider keeping a fatigue journal for 2 weeks to track
- Hours of sleep
- Daily activities
- Fatigue levels after each activity
- Patterns and potential triggers

Yes I use to take Amantadine, until my heart rate went out of control 233, another pill twice a day and fatigue is real and God bless those that don’t but take care of you first; like being on an airplane apply oxygen to yourself first
Mine isn't so bad that I feel I need medication. I do what I can and when my body says rest, I rest, then try to do some more.
I'm sorry that you're dealing with this! I have intense fatigue, too. My diagnosis is relatively new, and I am on Amantadine and Modafinir. They have helped a lot--I don't think I could function without them. I still have a lot of fatigue, esp. with the heat, but not nearly like before the meds.
I really don't have the fatigue.. besides that, I don't let things get in my way.. if something needs to be done, I get it done.. then I can sit and rest for a bit..
