Description
It invades me without warnings. It might be an MS symptom that everyone with this disease feels. It might sound like an excuse to many people. Who doesn't need one more hour to sleep? Who couldn't use 10 more minutes of rest? But It goes beyond that. It's much more intense. MS Fatigue is different from regular fatigue. It was like I was my body was stuck in quicksand, or like I was walking with 100lb attached to both my legs, in slow motion. It's also connected to heat and humidity.
It stops you from your regular responsibilities. It's an invisible, powerful force that drains all the energy off your body.
Memories come to me so clear from that worst period of my life. I remember having a chair close to the stove to sit down while cooking lunch. So I could cook without collapsing.
Goring from the bedroom to the bathroom was a struggle, taking a shower was even more overwhelming. I will never forget that sensation.
