Managing fatigue: Pacing without guilt (LWUK)

Fatigue - an overwhelming tiredness - is one of the most common invisible symptoms of MS. Some people find it's the symptom that affects them most. But there are ways to manage it and minimise its effects on your life.

We’ll be focusing on fatigue management strategies, such as pacing yourself and doing so without guilt. We’ll explore what pacing is and ways it can help you manage your MS. Most importantly, we’ll look at the importance of self-compassion and ways it can help you feel less guilty about pacing.

In this webinar we will cover:

• What is pacing?
• Explore fatigue management strategies
• Importance of self-compassion

Our webinars offer a safe, fact-based space that you can attend anonymously. These events are for anyone affected by MS, whether you are living with MS, a friend, family member, carer, or colleague of someone living with MS or a healthcare professional.
