I've read posts from tons of people who struggle with fatigue and exhaustion. I should understand that we are all victims of MS and this is a terrible symptom. But I just can't make myself believe that one disease like MS can cause this utter weariness all day, every day. For me it's not just a sleepiness kind of tiredness. My eyes are killing me all the time, I feel dizzy and off somehow... afraid to plan anything or get dressed to go to the store or the doctor... anywhere. I really have to psyche myself up just to run to the store that is a couple minutes away. Then the lights bother me and my driving is getting kind of dicey. But I have to admit, the cool air helps to perk me up a little. I just have no interest in doing anything social. Just too tired. Ringing in my ears all the time. I've had that checked out and there doesn't seem to be any physical reason... no ENT problems. Of course, that throws me off too.
Someone please just tell me this is "normal" for MS. Does this kind of fatigue come from a lesion? Where would it be located? I'm sorry to whine. I just want to understand this and learn how to deal with it. Seems like I tried Provigil years ago, before I was really, really seriously worn down.
Thanks for listening.
