Fatigue is one of the most common and misunderstood MS symptoms. In this episode, we explore what MS fatigue really is, the emotional weight it can carry, and practical ways to manage fatigue in daily life. We're joined by Helen Cole, occupational therapist; Ruth Stross, MS nurse and Director of Services and Health Professional Lead at the MS Trust; and Dr Rebecca McGuire, Associate Professor in Psychology who lives with MS herself. Together we discuss all aspects of MS fatigue, from how to avoid the "boom and bust" cycle through pacing and planning, to navigating feelings of guilt and frustration when fatigue stops you doing things the way you used to.
