Terri Dorothy's Fatigue Scale
| 1 | I feel well-rested, even energetic. Life is good. | |
| 2 | I'm a bit off today. Not too bad, just not a lot of pep. | only 2-3 times in last ten years |
| 3 | I'm tired. I think I need to get more sleep. | A GREAT day, like 1 a year |
| 4 | I'm really tired. I'm getting desperate for some rest. | A REALLY good day; like 3-4/year |
| 5 | I'm as exhausted as I've ever been when I was well. I feel like I've been working really hard, with very little sleep for 3-4 days. | A Good day: every other month |
| 6 | It's a struggle to function at all. I feel like I'm walking through a lead fog. Getting anything done is a sheer act of will. | |
| 7 | I'm no longer functional. Just getting dressed has exhausted me. I'm either lying in bed or sitting on the couch. | An average day past couple years. |
| 8 | Forget getting dressed. Just getting from the bed to the bathroom to the couch is all I can manage. | About 1/2 hour from waking up, typical day the past year. |
| 9 | Need help to get from the bed to the bathroom. Forget the couch. I'm too weak to sit up. | How I wake up every day. |
| 10 | Can't get out of bed without help. I'm terrified that I won't have the strength to take my next breath. | 2x in the last year alone. |
