So I am finally getting around to quitting smoking. I am using the patch and just stepped down to the final step. Fatigue has always been an issue with my MS but I have always been able to deal with it however I noticed in the past couple days since going down to step 3 (7mg nicotine patch) that the fatigue has been way worse.
So a brief study on the internet shows that nicotine is a stimulant and I have to assume that I have been battling fatigue by smoking.
I don't want to go back to smoking and with the help of the patch I have been doing really well without it, but I can not deal with this level of fatigue. Any suggestions? It would be awesome to be smoke free and I have been really proud of myself so far. I would hate to go back to smoking because it's the only way I can stay awake all day.
