Hi dann - here's an article (Foods to Fight Fatigue) from WebMD that you might find interesting. It explains what foods are good for combating fatigue and why.

While a healthy diet and moderate supplementation is good, be prepared for it not to "work" and don't discount medication on top of a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I have always had a healthy diet and lifestyle pre-MS. When neurogenic fatigue kicked in and I didn't know I had MS, I went through the entire round of supplements and super foods for over a year to no avail. I was always anti-Rx before this but now, not so much. I am a big believer in combining BOTH health lifestyle and whatever meds to help me out

eating to balance my blood sugar has helped immensely with my energy. also going gluten free helped too. i didn't notice it right away - but then i cheated and had some sourdough bread in san francisco... and promptly fell asleep!Katie

gluten free, sugar free, dairy free = feeling great!

Sometimes what NOT to eat is as important as what TO eat in fighting fatigue. There's research that shows that cutting out sugar, simple carbohydrates and gluten can increase energy. Many doctors recommend eliminating them from the diet, including the two most famous "brain health" doctors, Daniel Amen, MD, and David Perlmutter, MD.

well it's not food, but...
Walking every day and yoga especially help fatigue for me. I have tried just about everything out there. I do take Adderall to help with the fatigue and it helps me get through work from 4-10 in the morning, but fatigue is a terrible problem for me. If you Google "yoga for MS fatigue" you'll find some good info out there. I honestly think it works better than any drug for me. I cannot believe how good I feel when I leave there. I was able to find a private teacher who was willing to work with me (within my small budget!) and that's been one of the best things I ever did.

Everyone is different, but I got totally energized by adding whole food/protein smoothies to my daily diet, while reducing simple carbs--especially breads and things made with white flour--sugar and caffeine. I use brown rice protein powder and almond milk in the smoothies, along with green powder or fresh greens like kale, bananas and berries. I feel terrific on them!
