Thanks Gary for the insight. I was aware that fatigue was related to MS 
but not the extent. No one has gone into any explanations with me. Not 
being able to get a neurologist being reffered back to my internalist 
who says he knows very little about "your disease" I don't get much 
data. I was wondering about something else. I have noted that when I am 
cool I have more energy, at night until about dawn I find myself quite 
warm and find it impossible to sleep. As soon as my body cools off I 
find I can fall to sleep. I told this to the doctor and he said I had a 
wild imagination and it was the first time he had evert heard anything 
like this. I know just getting dressed tires me out most days and often 
I wonder is it worse it. I am thank ful I have a job or I wonder if I 
would get out of the bed. No this is no depression, I just feel 
exhausted and tired from hauling my body around. My left side has become 
extremely week over the past several months and my right hand makes a 
good decoration. Someone told me I look like an old man from the rear. 
This bothered me. I don't know why but it did. This thing is hard becos 
people don't want to hear about it and I am suposed to pretend it isn't 
there becos I look normal (not underweight or sick etc). But something 
is very wrong. The only place I get support is here on this board. I am 
very thankful to you and the others for taking the time to repsond to me 
and mostly for hearing what I am saying. Shalom, Aaron
