Frank,   Do you have any input as to whether or not that would hold true for someone with a 'light case' of TM (the fatigue).  When I told my neuro that I don't know how I could possibly go back to work yet (even though I can walk), because I need to sleep 9 - 11 hrs/night, and still move slowly, and need to lie down several times during the day in order to feel ok (I don't sleep, just put my feet up), she said I shouldn't feel that way, since I only had a 'light case'.   Sally
