About mrsnurse

I was MS in Dec., 1982, the 1st Christmas I was married!I i decided that MS was not going to rule my life. I we t back to to. Ollege & received a degree in nursing. i worked severL years & went back to school at the same time & obtained a master's degree iin Nursing. I loved every nursing i ever had! finally around the year 2000 i eas forced to go on disability due to cognitive difficulties--much against my will!! I live in Tn & have a 19y.o.daughter&spouse who keep me going! It did take me a long time to accept going on disability. I wasted too much time living in the past! Please enjoy this day and find things to be thankful for. We are so blessed in this country. MS has not changed the person I am--only my occupation!

About Fatigue

Fatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy. It is different from drowsiness which is feeling the need to sleep, while fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation. Drowsiness and apathy (a feeling of indifference or not caring about what happens) can be symptoms of fatigue.
