Fatigue and Weakness

Please tell me what it feels like to you.  Right now it is hard to hold my head up.  I would think heart problems but my leg arm and hand seem to be working fine.  I do have a little more strength in my legs after xtimes steroid infusion but still almost feel drunk when I sit.

For the pasat several weeks I have had some bad fatigue!  I have a 2 and a 4 year old at home, so I was always a little tired.  But for the past few weeks it has been really bad.  I will take naps in the afternoon for like 3-4 hours, my kids or husband will wake me up.  

I use to wake up by any little sound and had a hard time sleeping through the night.  Now, I don't wake up for anything!  And when I take a nap during the afternoon, I am still tired by the time 9-10pm comes around and will sleep as late as the kids will tell me, sometimes 9am.  

Sometimes my arms and legs get so tired I feel like I can't even lift my arms or legs, I just sit and feel like I am drunk/tired.  It's difficult and upsetting.

Good luck!

I find it hard to hold my head up sometimes too. I agree with jensequitur too..it feels kinda like youve been stuck in bed for awhile cuz your so sick and then you get up for the first time and your legs are wobbily and you get dizzy.

My post should have said left arm and leg are working.  It's not a tremor I can hardly lift my neck.

MS fatigue always feels to me like I've been sick for a long time, and I'm still exhausted.  The weakness just feels like weakness.  

I had neck tremors and weakness for a while - the neck was weak, and my head would bob rhythmically when I was tired.
