I agree with Todd. The fatigue - it is awful. One day at a time. Today all I did was drive 2.5 hrs to a bigger city, and then turned around and attempted to drive home. Fell asleep with my eyes wide open, so I pulled into a Wal Mart parking lot, and slept. One day at a time. Stress = more sleep. Overtired = more sleep. More activity = more sleep. Work = more sleep. One day at a time, sweet Jesus, one day at a time.

The next year was a little better, just sleeping 18 hours a day. The follow year sleeping 12 hours a day. The only thing I found to help was time, I know this is not what anyone want to hear.

I've tried all the meds my doctors suggested to no use. Came to the conclusion that it makes no sense to subject myself to side effects when pills are useless. Bottom line, we live with the residuals of TM's attack, and fatigue affects us big time. I just take Neurontin even though I doubt it does me any good. If I mention it to my neuro, I can guarantee that she will advise me to triple the dose or more. Your many comments prompted me to add mine. I've accepted fatigue as part of my many other symptoms, but only RELUCTANTLY. Take care. R
