How do you cope with fatigue?

Studies show that fatigue can have major effects in people with autoimmune diseases like MG.

  1. Feel lucky did not come down with MG before age 72. The dry eye I have is getting worse and worse, can't stand myself mostly because of the constant problems with that. I do have fatigue, my neck bothers so do exercises with my neck, ride my exercise bike, walk a little, but can't hardly use my wood shop because the dry eye drives me crazy. Also need to work on the house which has become impossible. Thought to have a active retirement, but this just sucks. Been giving stuff away, find I just don't need as much as I used to. There is a great re use it store near hear and all the people that work there are volunteers, and they donate the money they make to charity, food bank and church organizations, so is a great place to give my old tools and supplies that I can no longer use.

    1. I am fatigued but the prednisone keeps me going at night so I can never get uninterrupted sleep . Of course having to get up every two hours to urinate does help either.

      1. I understand how frustrating uninterrupted sleep can be. How long does it generally take you to fall asleep after waking up, such as when you wake to urinate?
