Medications Have you had your medications reviewed? Depression & Stress Have you addressed low mood and stress? Other MS Symptoms Have you seen your neurologist recently? Fatigue Management Strategies Planning and prioritisation Rest breaks Exercise Diet Sleep Energy conservation & Work simplification Communicate 6
7 Prioritise your Activities A - Critical must be done B - Important should be done C - Trivial if I get time D - Delegate or Discard No need for YOU to do it No need to do it at all Plan your Activities Plan your day/week Balance your activities Spread out difficult tasks Pace yourself in each activity 7
8 Rest Breaks Plan your Rest Break Permission to rest When to rest Where to rest How often to rest How long to rest for Rest Body & Mind 8
9 Relaxation Is a skill that takes practice Is a shift in thinking Is a conscious desire to make best use of planned rest breaks Exercise KEEP ACTIVE! Increase Energy Maximize strength potential Improve mood Improve sleep patterns Prevent disease progression 9
10 Guidelines for Exercising Quality not quantity : Little and often Reduce exercise if unwell Avoid overheating Include stretching, strengthening, balance, fitness and endurance exercises Plan a rest break after exercise If you still feel exhausted 1 hour after exercising, you have over-done it Diet Aim towards: Adequate water intake Eating Breakfast Eating proteins and carbohydrates in combination Adequate Iron levels Low GI Foods Minimise: Big meals Caffeine and Alcohol 10
11 Improving Sleep Good sleep patterns are required to give you the best chance of a refreshing sleep; Go to bed and get up at the same time each day Establish a restful bedroom environment Avoid stimulating activities, food and drink before bed Get regular exercise (but not just before bedtime) Persevere If you cant sleep.. Don t stay in bed if you are awake, try Meditation Journal Relaxation Cool down Read the dictionary Seek further advice from GP or MS Connect 11
12 Energy Conservation & Work Simplification Biomechanics - Correct position, posture, movement Environment - Cooling, lighting, access, layout Energy-saving Equipment - trolley, shower stool, dishwasher - specialised equipment Task Modification - change or simplify Communicating about Fatigue Be clear Be honest Give examples Ask for help Saying Yes Saying No 12
13 Summary MS Fatigue is different to normal fatigue Could the fatigue you are experiencing be caused by something else? An infection, an MS relapse, a side effect of medication? What can you change in your life to improve fatigue? Seek specialist help via MS Connect or through your local health professionals Persist with suggested changes as it may take time to reap the benefits Your Take Home Strategies Planning and prioritisation Rest breaks Exercise Diet Sleep Energy conservation & Work simplification Communicate 13
