Short Description: This study aims to develop a fatigue self-management program for persons with MS that 1) includes both cognitive behavioral and energy conservation strategies and 2) is available as a mHealth application: Managing My MS My Way (M4W). In order to make this program meaningful for persons with MS living with fatigue, we will be including persons with MS as stakeholders in each step of the application development so that we can capture their thoughts on the application and its content. By doing so, we will ensure that the strategies included will be helpful for persons with MS, the layout and content of the application are user friendly, and that M4W is accessible and easy-to-use.

Short Description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a naturally available compound in the blood, with MS disease. Blood samples collected from both person's with MS and healthy controls may be used in analysis to measure the level of BH4 (naturally occurring chemical in the body) that may or may not be affected by MS. Samples will also help to define characteristics of person's with MS to make progress in advancing MS research.
