Exploring Causes of Fatigue

[DaneDKDaniel]

Hi everybody!

I´m sorry if I stir up anxiety and/or distress with this post, but I´m dying to find out!

Lately I´ve been troubled by fatigue. All day long, I walk around and yawn, and feel as if I could sleep anytime! If I´d just close my eyes and lie down - I´d sleep! It´s as if my eyes are tired, or more exact, as if something behind my eyes wants to close them and make me sleep! I´m not tired in any of my limbs or muscles, but sometimes it´s hard to focuse and concentrate.

So my question is - how do you differ the fatigue that people suffering from MS have, and a "normal" fatigue and tiredness? I´m worrying a lot, and thinking that this tiredness of mine might be like an initial symptom of MS or something.......geeeee

Well, hope some of you know about this, and again, I hope I dont make any of you guys worried!

Best of everything to all of you,

Daniel

Well, how do you sleep at night? Are you awakened all through the night and never actually getting a good nights sleep? Stress can do that also.
When I'm stressed, I sometimes just want to lay down. Depression can also do that.

Do your muscles wake you up at night?

Have you talked to your doctor? not that they always listen.....

When you say it's hard to focus.. that sounds like stress and anxiety.
If you were really tired with some terrible medical problem, I think you would HAVE to lay down and sleep, not just think about it..

My bet is anxiety... we are all suffering from it in some degree!

Daniel,

Just a thought. When I was extremely anxious (freaking out about all this twithching B.S.) , all I wanted to do was sleep! My body shut down because I couldn't deal with the anxiety. I could have slept for a week, or two if I didn't have to work! Maybe this is the cause of your tiredness. My eyes were tired, my body was tired, my BRAIN was tired.

Fatigue can go along with bfs also, I dont sleep that great any way but when I am very busy my body tells me by getting fatigued...I wake up feeling like I havent slept at all and my muscles feel tired and weak, and I tend to twitch more...a good nights sleep usually helps alot.
