- fatigue.
- Fatigue is probably the most common symptom of multiple sclerosis and the majority of people with MS (PwMS) experience it at some point in their disease course, often chronically and for the entire course of the disease. ...
- Fatigue in multiple sclerosis can take two forms - mental and physical. ...
- Mental fatigue can vary between mild and severely disabling and is usually exacerbated by exercise, increased bodily or ambient temperature (Uhthoff's symptom). ...
- Mental fatigue usually follows a daily pattern and, in this respect, differs from the constant fatigue associated with depression. ...
- Fatigue in MS appears to be unrelated to disability status and many PwMS complain of fatigue even when all their other symptoms are mild or in complete remission. ...
- Attempts to correlate mental fatigue with the location of MRI lesions have revealed some rather weak correlations - for example, lesions in the frontal white matter and the deep white matter of the right insula. ... Despite this, MRI lesion load and fatigue do not correlate very well. ...
- Depression and fatigue also do not correlate very well in multiple sclerosis. ...
- Physical fatigue can be easily induced in MS by a short walk or other physical activity. ...
- A typical phenomenon is for a PwMS to set out on a short stroll walking reasonably well but as they continue their gait deteriorates or becomes impossible as physical fatigue sets in. ...
- Mental fatigue is often associated with physical fatigue and all you want to do after physical exercise is to collapse on a bed and sleep. ...
- As with mental fatigue and most other MS symptoms, heat makes physical fatigue worse. ...
- A number of methods of measuring fatigue in multiple sclerosis have been developed including the Fatigue Descriptive Scale (FDS). ...

- Objectives To compare the frequency of persistent symptoms up to 8 years after illness onset in adolescents diagnosed as having chronic fatigue syndrome, idiopathic chronic fatigue, and unexplained fatigue for less than 6 months, and to determine if hospital admission is associated with outcome. ...
- Patients Consecutive adolescents referred for assessment of persistent fatigue were identified and retrospectively divided into 3 groups according to the diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome and idiopathic chronic fatigue. ...
- Twenty-five percent of the chronic fatigue syndrome group showed near to complete improvement, 31% showed partial improvement, and 44% showed no improvement. The idiopathic chronic fatigue group had near to complete recovery in 50%, partial in 10%, and no improvement in 40%. Those with unexplained fatigue for less than 6 months had all recovered. ...
- Conclusions Adolescents with less than 6 months of fatigue have a good outcome. Unexplained fatigue lasting more than 6 months has a similar outcome regardless of the presence of minor criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome. ...

- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Review .
- OBJECTIVE: Chronic fatigue syndrome is an illness characterized by disabling fatigue of at least 6 months, accompanied by several other symptoms. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about chronic fatigue syndrome. METHOD: The case definition, prevalence, clinical presentation, evaluation, and prognosis of chronic fatigue syndrome are discussed. Research on the pathophysiology and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome is reviewed. RESULTS: Chronic fatigue syndrome is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome experience significant functional impairment. Pathophysiological abnormalities exist across many domains, suggesting that chronic fatigue syndrome is a heterogeneous condition of complex and multifactorial etiology. Evidence also is beginning to emerge that chronic fatigue syndrome may be familial. Although chronic fatigue syndrome has significant symptom overlap and comorbidity with psychiatric disorders, several lines of research suggest that the illness may be distinct from psychiatric disorders. ... Treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome is symptom-based and includes pharmacological and behavioral strategies. Cognitive behavior therapy and graded exercise can be effective in treating the fatigue and associated symptoms and disability.
