Sometimes it hurts so bad that even a hug from a well meaning friend or loved one hurts. One of my dogs jumping into my lap for some lovin' is enough to put me into tears.
I've had it hurt so bad that putting on a pair of jeans is impossible- the material hurts touching my legs and the only thing I can wear is a pair of sweatpants. At one time it hurt too bad to even put them on, I had to lay in bed under just a sheet.
What I hate is that since our loved ones don't feel this fatigue it "can't possibly be that bad". So loved ones are think you are just being a drama queen. I would never wish this MS experience on anyone, but wouldn't it be helpful if the people who don't "get it" could just experience it for about 1 hour?
