Anti-depressants are well known to have a side effect of fatigue. Talk with your doctor and decide what side special effects each medicine your on has.

Drink a sufficient amount of water:

Dehydration can cause fatigue and many people with MS don't like to drink water because they suffer from an over active bladder.- I'm guilty of this one. Our bodies need water for energy and to remove toxins, so don't scrimp on this one.

If you're not getting enough iron that you may feel fatigued. Eat fish, eggs, fortified cereals, and beans to fight against multiple sclerosis fatigue.

Depression:

Not accepting multiple sclerosis, being depressed about your current life will cause depression and the by product fatigue. Using techniques to change your mental outlook and your thinking such as "Theatre of the Mind". Will allow you to relive all the good things that happened to you in the past and therefore remove depression out of your life.

Improper breathing:

Shallow, short breathes will reduce the amount of oxygen coming to your cells, therefore making you feel fatigued.

Eating Breakfast Everyday:

When you first wake up your blood sugar is low, eating a proper breakfast is an energy booster. Skipping breakfast drains your energy contributing to fatigue.

Too much heat:

Heat increases your disabilities and fatigue and just makes you feel bad. Anytime out in warm weather I can go from walking normally to barely walking at all. Stay out of the heat, use a cooling vest, and look for activities that keep you cool like swimming.

Avoid Simple Carbohydrates:

White bread, white pasta, and sugar slow you down and fatigue you. Keep up on a diet of whole foods consisting of fruits and veggies.

Vary Routine:

Toss up your normal daily schedule. Each one of us needs some variety each day. Plan something for the future that you can look forward to.

Experiment with aromatherapy:

Peppermint and jasmine essentials oils are known to be energizing. Put a few drops on your collar of your shirt to smell during the day, or take the container of peppermint with you and take a sniff when your feeling fatigued.
