What can I do for my fatigue? I am exhausted all the time. I was diagnosed in November. I have lesions on my brain and neck. Spinal tap was completed to confirm. The neurologist I am seeing is not doing much. I am going to see one in Grand Rapids in February. Some days my entire body itches and I get a lot of tingling in my feet and legs. Help!! Any suggestions?
Answer:
One of the most effective treatments for fatigue is related to life style modifications. In particular exercise, optimal sleep, diet, stress mitigation. There are many resources that you can investigate, including NMSS, Rocky Mountain MS Center, etc. Here are some links:
