Additionally, the difficulty of measuring fatigue due to its subjective nature and its impact on quality of life has been troublesome. The total score of the MFIS ranges from 0 to 84. The ranges of scores for each subscale are: physical, 0 to 36; cognitive, 0 to 40; and psychosocial, 0 to 8. The lack of population norms and a possibly inappropriate cutoff score raise some questions
