Is fatigue common with MS?
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of MS and can be challenging to treat. It can affect a patient’s ability to work and interfere with day to day activities. MS fatigue can present as an overwhelming need to nap, as motor fatigue where a patient’s legs get tired quickly during walking, or as cognitive fatigue where it becomes hard to concentrate on a task for a long period of time. The patient may experience severe fatigue and yet appear quite normal to others.
