In this podcast on the non-pharmacological management of MS-related fatigue, I interview Megan Parker, Heather Squires, and Erin Giroux, who are occupational therapists affiliated with the Calgary MS Program. We discuss the definition of fatigue, why MS-related fatigue is different from the fatigue experienced by people without MS, as well as various strategies that can be used to combat fatigue. For example, we discuss the use of fatigue scales in activity diaries, and explore how activity analysis can be helpful in coming up with an overall management plan to help patients reduce their fatigue. Future podcasts will address the role of cognitive behavioural therapy in fatigue management as well as pharmacological approaches.
