this was interesting I wasn’t aware MS had its own fatigue terminology- lassitude.

I'm glad it isn't us who ended up with the word "lassitude". I would imagine many people with MS don't think much of it either.

Probably on a par with malaise

Is there a disease that doesn't have fatigue as a characteristic? If so, THAT is the disease that needs investigating into fatigue. The rest seems like busy work, like when you were a kid in school and you pretended to be reading during study or quiet time, but were really just wasting time.

Interesting. As always, a reminder to me that ME, and MS have some cross over.

Heat and stress also make me feel worse. And I do feel like I'm dragging around a ball and chain.
