Secondart progressive MS. Was RRMS for over 30 years and was able to function fairly well and work out.

I was diagnosed 37 years ago. Fatigue has always been part of MS for me. At first I tried Amantadine. It did not really help. Of course, I was raising 3 young children and had a husband who worked 11-15 hour days. Next I tried Provigil. It really helped but I stopped taking it because of the hassle of getting the cost covered and being treated like I was a drug addict. I stopped taking it many years ago and just deal with the fatigue. Now I am in my 70's and am still very active but do need to schedule in some down time.

SPMS ?

I have taken Amatadine since the beginning of my journey and it has worked for me and is a generic, plus an antiviral which hass been a plus in the world today. I also caffinate daily and eat fairly healthy. Since going SPMS, exeeercise has been litle to none, but know I need to. As my Dr. said, if you don't use it, you lose it.

So ,how did you deal without any medication? I try ,but if I have a few seconds of waiting I dose. I also have spinal issues that requires me to sit down every 5 minutes.. I do understand about the hassle of getting a medicine covered!!😑😣
