MND & Fatigue

Every man, woman and child, every living thing and every object ever made by mankind on this planet suffers from 'Fatigue". We all have extreme's of fatigue, some more so than others. Case in kind were the "Twin Towers" in America. It was fatigue which helped cause the fall of the towers killing many thousands of people. Planes, buildings, cars, you name it , they all have fatigue.
Fatigue is watching a baby trying to stay awake but unable to do so. It is like an Earth-Quake that splits the land asunder from under our feet. We are no different but because we are in a weakened state anyway we are so more vulnerable.
But with those of us, like me, who get tired very quickly, fatigue is what gets to us most. It can creep up on you and lay you flat out before you know it. Fatigue is not being able to get out of bed, get dressed, make a cup off coffee. So many things we are unable to do because of fatigue.
I only have to walk (with a stick) down our driveway and I am fatigued. Just the simple act of drying a few dishes and I am fatigued. With MND it is fatigue more than anything else that weakens the body leading it to the end that we know is there.
Fatigue and stress go hand in hand. But to combat it you have to pace your-self, know your limitations of what you can and can not do. ONLY you can do this, not your family or care carers. ONLY you. You will know when its time to stop trying to do those 101 things you have always done. You will know when to accept the the fact that someone will be there when you need them to be able to bath, eat, drink and yes, even be merry.
"Accept the fact also that you have MND and one of the conditions of this is fatigue."

I HAVE.
