Helping Fatigue as a Multiple Sclerosis Symptom
As most anyone with multiple sclerosis knows, fatigue is one of the most common multiple sclerosis symptoms. There are some different drugs on the market that doctors try in order to help alleviate fatigue. Some of them work for some people while other one work for different people.
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Can Be Treated
In this video, Lauren speaks of how she finally gives in and lets the doctor give her something to help with her fatigue. She resisted taking a drug to help with fatigue as one of her multiple sclerosis symptoms but finally realized that she needed to do something.
Lauren was first put on Amantadine to try to help but found that it actually made her sleepy. The doctor then gave her Provigil to try and she found that it worked much better for her. However, she also speaks of someone she met that found that Amantadine worked and that Provigil didn’t. This just shows the differences in how different people react to different drugs.
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Can Be Difficult
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms are sometimes difficult to treat. The two drugs that Lauren speaks about doesn’t cover the entire spectrum of what can be used. I personally have been on both of those plus 4-AP, Adderall, and now just starting Desoxyn. So far, none of them have worked for me. You just have to work with your dotors hopefully find what will work for you.
