Johnny,
Hi, I am fairly new to the forum and have not been diagnosed yet.  I am trying to learn as much as I can though.  Thank you for sharing. The fatigue you explained is exactly what I experience.  I wake up on my off days and say I'll do this and that.  I hate a dirty house...and am a little OCD.  I have good intentions but it seems I can't muster the get going to do it.  I don't refer to it as lazy because I know that I am not.  I ust to keep an immaculant house.  I thought it might be depression but it's not that I don't want to do it, I just can't get going.  Then when I do I tire so easily.  I never had this problem before as I get immense pleasure from keeping a tidy house and seeing things get accomplished. Thanks for the insight.

Kitt and Quix,

I did not know that sweating could be a sign.  I also didn't know sleep problems were common, otherwise I would have mentioned these on my timeline.  I had an episode ohh about 6 months ago of night sweats (not TB related) that would leave me and the entire bed drenched.  It lasted about 3 weeks then stopped all of a sudden just when I was getting ready to consult a doctor.  

I have always had sleep problems for as long as I can remember.  Is this a late or early problem?  

Also, Quix, what are the usual symptoms of childhood onset MS besides ON?  Thought you might know since you were a Pediatrician.  

Thanks for your help,

Angel

I really know very little about childhood onset MS.  I remember reading that it presents much like adult MS, but the MRI can have a different look and it may be confused with ADEM.  I'd have to look it up.  But, I did post a link to an article on childhood MS to Vera from Hong Kong very recently.  So if you check my recent posts to her on her long thread you'll find it.

Hi Angel,

  Glade I could offer some helpful info. OCD seems to be a commen thing and was actually listed in a handout from the seminar I attended in Sept. Yeah, I have tons of things to do and gettingg one or two done on my days off is about all I get done. Lots of pretty simply stuff but somehow it doesn't get done.

  I'm at work right now and will try to post a little more in a day or so.
