Talk:Neurological fatigue

My edit

My understanding of neurological/neurogenic fatigue is that it is also a very common symptom of other diagonisis, not just M.S. Examples are Traumatic Brain Injury including concussion, Stroke, Hypoxic and other types of aquired brain injury. Surely this site should reflect the reality of neurological fatigue in these other conditions? Please contribute to make this information more conprehensive.

Well, I thought I would get an article started on this as it affects the vast majority of the millions of multiple sclerosis sufferers worldwide. Common knowledge of neurological fatigue as a real and common symptom of MS will benifit all Multiple sclerosis sufferers. Please help us all out by expanding or editing this article!

There is no evidence that MS causes worse fatigue than other neurological illnesses. For example CFS/ME can make people so fatigued they may be _completely_ unable to move or even speak for days or even weeks and some sleep 20 hours a day. I don't know how that can be "topped", and I can't understand why the article is so heavily biased towards bias, when much more common illnesses (like CFS/ME, which has a much higher prevalence) cause just as bad, if not worse, problems.

Link leads to empty page edit

The second "external information" link leads to a page saying that no input file is specifying. This needs to be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gakrivas (talkcontribs) 16:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

What is neurological fatigue? edit

Is it fatigue associated with neurological disorders such as MS, Parkinson's, traumatic brain injury and stroke? Is there a textbook chapter or systematic review that explains its nature? If it is simply a group term for fatigue associated with neurological disorders, it may be more useful to insert a section on fatigue into the articles for each of those disorders, --Anthonyhcole (talk) 17:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have the same question. As the page is now written, it appears to be specific to MS, which sounds dubious to me. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
In my experience, it amounts to a fancy word used by MS patients to differentiate normal fatigue from particularly horrible fatigue caused by MS. IMO the page should redirect to a subsection in Fatigue (medical). WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:31, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Support merge. All fatigue (medical) is experienced by way of the nervous system anyway. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
