Momentum - Summer 2012

Family, friends and coworkers need to be educated about fatigue as a hidden disability. MS fatigue in particular can seem so random, and without information, it’s hard for other people to understand why you can no longer handle the things you used to do.

“I tried concealing my fatigue
but it didn’t work out very well,”
says Lemelle. “I seemed lazy to
other people and I even heard
whispers of me being drunk. I
have found that the more people
know, the more they will help
and be understanding.”
Lemelle has found less
physically demanding activities,
such as learning Spanish
via a computer program,
reading novels and blogging at
