Hello. I am 17 and after experiencing symptoms for about a year have finally been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I have severe fatigue and I get up to go to school at 6 am then am exhausted by 9 in the morning. I sleep about 12 hours a night and would sleep more if I didn't have so much homework to get done. Has anyone else on here experienced fatigue to this great of a severity? How do you deal with it with school/work/necessary activities?
