Follow the steps to complete the Fatigue Severity Scale online
- To begin, locate and press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Fatigue Severity Scale. This action will open the form in your chosen online editor.
- Carefully read each statement provided in the FSS. These statements relate to your usual experiences of fatigue over the past week.

- Ensure that you consider your motivations and physical functioning when responding to statements about fatigue, as these are crucial for accurate assessment.
- Once you have circled a number for each of the nine statements, proceed to the Visual Analogue Fatigue Scale (VAFS).
- On the VAFS, mark an 'X' on the number line that corresponds to your overall level of fatigue, with 0 being the worst fatigue and 10 indicating normal fatigue.

An example of a well known fatigue/function measure is the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) (Krupp, LaRocca, Muir-Nash, & Steinberg, 1989). The FSS is composed of nine items, and in the initial validation study, internal consistency was high for specific illness groups (MS and lupus) and healthy controls.
