Abstract
Fatigue is one of the most disabling aspects of multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting an estimated 70%-90% of patients. Yet, despite its prevalence, it is also one of the most difficult MS symptoms to accurately diagnose and effectively treat. This is because of numerous factors, including the subjective and nonspecific nature of fatigue; its variable manifestations; its similarity to psychological, motor, cognitive, respiratory, and non-MS-related disturbances and conditions; and a lack of understanding of its precise etiology. In contrast to fatigue experienced by people without MS, MS fatigue is characterized by its persistence and sensitivity to core and ambient temperatures. Differential diagnosis of MS fatigue is largely dependent on delineating chronic versus acute onset and determining whether fatigue is a symptom in and of itself (primary MS fatigue) or an aspect of an MS-related or non-MS-related etiology (secondary MS fatigue). Once the presence of fatigue is established, a through medical history, physical examination, and fatigue assessments can guide effective management, which includes education, self-care strategies, and pharmacological treatment. As patient advocates and gatekeepers, MS nurses are in an optimal position to establish and evaluate fatigue as a symptom in and of itself and effectively guide this process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
