The fatigue is the hardest part for me. Fatigue even makes the pain worse and it steals the time I want to enjoy.

I would get rid of muscle weakness. Heaviness in my legs. It’s a difficult to walk without feeling like you will fall or can’t walk up or down stairs .

The first symptom to be eliminated is fatigue since it depletes daily energy and prevents regular work.
• Energy Loss: Basic everyday duties are difficult to complete when fatigued all the time.
• Focus Problems: Brain fog and poor attention are frequently caused by low energy.
• Recovery Block: Your body finds it difficult to mend or rest when you are constantly tired.
