Thats funny and she is right, its so different. It is hard to explain to others. You can look at he health pages on here and they can explain it much better.

I hope this helps - MS Fatigue isn't cured by taking a nap or resting. It is a totally different fatigue.

So I shouldn't be taking naps?
I would not deny any one the chance to take a nap, however it doesn't help the MS fatigue. Sometimes all you can do is nap and when you awaken there is no difference to the fatigue level.
Thanks for that info. I thought I had the fatigue thing and I will take a 2 or so hr nap and wake up and be fine, not sleepy anymore. So I guess this isn't the MS fatigue. It's probably just me being tired. Glad to know I haven't had the really terrible fatigue yet. Or hopefully not anytime soon.
