How do I get out of this slump? I was a very energic person before all this news...
I have tried Provigil, and found it very good at helping with the above symptoms. But it is not cheap.

I am actually taking prozac, for this reason.
I am not clinically depressed, but of course am pissed that I have MS

, and do not notice any changes whatsoever to my mood. I have read that it only helps those that have a major lack of seretonin.
I have actually noticed that the Provigil improves my mood much more than the Prozac ever did.

Some people do not react to colds any different to non MS people. Where as I, have an infection as my only known cause for a relapse. I now take amantadine (an anti-viral, which is also prescribed for MS fatigue) when I think I am at risk of catching a flu, and Tamiflu when i do catch one. If only I had known of them ten years ago
