There Has To Be Another Word For Fatigue

There is fatigue, and then there is MS fatigue.  MS fatigue is just a totally different beast.  And the problem with fatigue is that it's all day, everyday.  I pray each morning as I lie in bed to just give me the strength for the day.  See, that's the thing with MS, the unpredictability of the disease.  There are days when it is tolerable, but then there are the days when I often think, how in the world and I going to make it through this day.  I would love to make plans with my friends over the next couple of days, and I do.  Then the day comes and I can barely get out of the bed, I can barely function.  This ofcourse, leads to me cancelling out on my friends. This, unfortunately, leads to isolation.  MS and its unpredictability and extreme fatigue leads to isolation.  This will be discussed in detail later on.  It's a sad thing.  

The MS fatigue is like dragging weights around your neck, your body, and your legs. It is unrelenting, never ceasing, and daily.  Again, sometimes the weights are bearable, but with the progression of my disease, the weights are getting heavier and heavier with each passing day.  But, MS or not, life has to go on.  I am still a mother, a wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt and sister and daughter in law.  Life must go on, no matter what the fatigue.  Most days all you can say is, "Lord help me."
