Feeling fatigued!

Hi, everyone:
I was diagnosed with RRMS in January, 2003. I've had a very mild case of MS with no relapses since I was diagnosed. BUT, this summer I have been noticing feeling VERY sleepy and weak in body--this is the first time I've struggled with this problem. I had some blood work done, and my white blood cell count was low. Could this be the culprit? I'm on Betaseron, and I'm wondering if it is knocking my WBC down and if this is how it's going to be from now on. Also, my neurologist told me I could be suffering from a sleep disturbance due to the MS--that it is affecting the sleep centers of my brain.
Any info you can share is greatly appreciated.
