Fatigue worse when others are sick

Did ya ever notice when you're around your kids or family that have a cold, that you feel horribly fatigued, but you don't actually get sick? I'm sooooo tired and yet I have so much to do. I wonder at these times if it's ok to take some extra vitamins or something?? Cuz the coffee just ain't cuttin' it today. :(

it sounds like your overdoing taking care of others. but as a mother we have to do that when they're sick.
extra vitamins sure can't hurt.
i try to take a nap when they are napping if i'm feeling fatigued,but that is'nt possible very often

I am not sure if it is safe to take for people with MS, but I swear by Airborne. If I feel a cold coming on, I will take a tablet and almost always can avoid getting a cold. I also have noticed a little bit of increased energy after taking a dose.
