MS Bytes # 5

According to the MS Society,
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of MS, occurring in about 80% of people. Fatigue can significantly interfere with a person's ability to function at home and at work, and may be the most prominent symptom in a person who otherwise has minimal activity limitations.

If you know someone who has MS you should not be surprised that on somedays they may need to use a cane or wheelchair to remain mobile and on other days not. People with MS have problems with balance,coordination and memory all of which may contribute to the making the simplest tasks exhausting. Have you ever tried walking when you are in a pool that is at least waste high? Everyday walking can feel like that for someone who has MS. Not easy? Exhausting? That's MS.
