When should I tell my doctor about my fatigue from multiple sclerosis?
ANSWER
Although fatigue is a common and often expected symptom of MS, you should feel free to mention your concerns to your doctors. There are times when fatigue may be a clue to some other underlying medical problem. Other times, some medical interventions can prevent fatigue.
