Fatigue

I know I have written about fatigue before, but I had to share this explanation of fatigue that could not be more dead on. 


"I am exhausted to my very core. The kind of fatigue that comes with a chronic illness is hard to describe if you have never experienced it.  It's not about being sleepy or sluggish.  It's not the kind of fatigue you feel if you've missed out on one good night sleep or had a particularly harrowing day.  It's not the afternoon slump that can be relieved by a cup of java. It's an all over heaviness that makes it difficult to move; it is a fogginess that drapes itself over you and prevents your from functioning normally; it's a complete and total inability to fight sleep. It is debilitating and often the most troubling symptom of MS. It is turning out to be my biggest foe." - Written by Ann Pietrangelo in her book No More Specs


Ann could not have said this any better. I have always wished I could explain how the fatigue with MS feels and never knew how. Well, she did it perfectly! This exact feeling happens all too often and with this heat, it has been happening more and more. Thank goodness it is suppose to cool down a bit, at least get rid of the humidity! Haha! Like we can control the weather, I wish! Just thought I would share this explanation of fatigue with all of you.
