I feel JUST like these various descriptions too. It is as if I am running around in circles, wanting to catch something, but not knowing what this is. I feel much like an inflated chair, and my condition just depends on the size of the person that is sat on me. Saturday was a good day, I just felt as if a toddler was sitting on me. Today is not so good and I feel now as if I am supporting Bella Emberg, Demis Rousos as well as Cyril Smith.
I have SPMS but only occasional fatigue. I am very very tired a lot of the time but only feel like I have been in a blender occasionally. I would say that whilst I have been “fatigued” in the past it is not a permanent thing for me.

and RE Polls comment below, I am more of a stubborn mule rather than a stallion or mare!
Actually I was saying to my OH earlier that although I sometimes experience cognitive fatigue, and if I have an infection I get fatigued, but real, out and out fatigue, I don’t tend to experience. Maybe that’s because I have organised my life so that energy is apportioned out effectively, I don’t know. But I know that absolute bone crushing fatigue is actually rarer than it used to be.
I have been offline awhile due to … Yep downright total nothing left breathing feels like too much effort fatigue !
Some good descriptions peeps.
I thought it couldn’t get worse, then it did and just reading the posts leaves me wiped out ( only read this one ) just don’t know how to get through to hubby and sons…I am so relieved to know others feel this overwhelming feeling of complete exhaustion though I would not wish it on anyone it is definitely crap.
