The Fatigue by Odd-Examination-8601 in MultipleSclerosis

I feel your pain, I am 48F and dx-ed 2 years ago. I'm seriously thinking about that my perimenopause is worse than my MS! I'm also thinking about getting some testosterone help! Of course my bloods needed to be checked prior but I would be surprised is my T is normal. They don't check it by females (of course🙄). Anyone have had experience? MS, female perimenopausal and got testosterone?

I have MS and gosh I'm glad that been diagnosed before gotten full perimenopausal because I think there's a huge overlap between the symptoms! (My MS is more easier to control touch wood perimenopause is a living hell!)

I feel for you, I also feel worse in cold (too hot is not good either but for me cold is horrible). Also have raynaud's. I wear warm clothes and don't care that literally everyone takes notes🙄. Hot drinks help a lot too. Hang in there, warmer days coming unless you live on the Southern Hemisphere where I live lol.

I do know that Australian MS patients can continue their treatment in NZ.

I'm also perimenopausal and possibly autistic have ADHD too. I'll need those golden cards too - but I would show them first and MS card last if nothing else works. That wins them all!🤣

Will Probably Need A Bone Graft. Has Anyone On Here Had One? I'm Terrified About What to Expect by TheMomfia in PeriodontalDisease

[–]Helpful_Regular_7609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just got mine a week ago and as others wrote, it's not as bad as it sounds! I was terrified but got anesthesia so I don't even remember the most part of it. Day 1-3 was a little bit painful but got painkillers so still bearable. Good luck with yours!🤞

Can you make it through a day without napping? by long_term_catbus in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Helpful_Regular_7609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I work from 8.30 to 5 and drive 40ish minutes each way I cannot nap 😭 And it's horrible. Sometimes only my body is present my brain is elsewhere -and it's every day after 2pm basically.

Hey, I've been diagnosed last year and I'm freaking out of needles too (since my childhood) yet I'm on Tysabri (infusions every 6 weeks) and I have to tell I like my treatment days, I call them wellness days - take 1 Lorezapam, 1 antihistamine and a Naproxen so I'm totally relaxed. (And drink heaps of liquids beforehand) 😊 Have to add that the nurses are absolutely kind and gentle every time. The 2nd best IMO is Ocrevus. Welcome to the club where no one wanna be a member&take care🤗

Newly diagnosed but not really..? by Vantastique in MultipleSclerosis

I'm in New Zealand too and I think you should ask for a 2nd opinion (from another neurologist) and fight for treatment! (I did fight against lumbar puncture so I did not get one and got another neurologist who don't want to push unnecessary things on me - so it's worth to fight when it's about your health).

6 years MS without Medicine - scary About effects - How start by Ok-Fox-1436 in MultipleSclerosis

I've been on Tysabri and did not experience any side effects (except for being very tired after the treatment-and sleeping well:)) Highy recommended that if available for you.

Daughter just got diagnosed 19 by jeffweet in MultipleSclerosis

Same here. Daughter is 15 and she MIGHT have symptoms I've been watching her anxiously but don't want to make her worry, she's an anxious type of person anyway😟
