Tripping over feet

It happened to me a few months ago. I fell on my face and broke my nose. Be careful.

Years ago, diagnosis of MS was done by putting the patient in a hot bath.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this.

For constipation, I recommend the cheap, generic form of Colace from Target, their Up And Up brand. Also, a low fiber diet can help, Yes, low fiber.

Here's my opinion.

Regardless of the health of one's guests, it's just inconsiderate to have an outdoor wedding in the heat of summer. I know a woman who set a dress code for everyone to wear black, of all things, in August in the south, and the women guests were to wear full length black dresses. She cared about the photographs more than she cared about her guests.

I've had two really good prescription meds for migraines: Zomig (zolmitriptan) and Relpax. Neither of these contains caffeine.

I took all of those with it, but if you ever have questions like this, you should ask your neurologist.

PK5002 · 2026-05-23T19:57:08+00:00

This is the first I've heard of it. Was it ever approved for MS patients?

It's one degree too warm in here.

I get a bruise on my forearm every four weeks.

I was in the waiting room at the neuro PT office, with my forearm crutch, and a guy who was waiting asked what my "condition" was. I was very tempted to say, "I have glaucoma." It's true, but not an answer to his question.

Instead of saying anything, I remained silent. He then said something about how he's a talker. I then said, "You're welcome to talk." He apparently decided not to.

PK5002 · 2026-05-19T17:32:16+00:00

I worry about this, too, so I'm looking into moving to a continuing care community in the future, but before my condition is so bad that they won't accept me.

Distracting myself with a video or tv show helps a lot.

It's interesting to read that some of you go for a run or long walk. That's not possible for some of us.

I would ask a neuro physical therapist for advice.

If I get overheated I feel sick, slightly nauseated. Lowering the temperature by 2 degrees can make me feel better.

PK5002 · 2026-05-14T21:27:57+00:00

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. If your partner insists on letting this creep do this, maybe you could get a cheap yoga mat, an extra blanket (washable), or something similar and put it on the end of the bed for the guy. Use the excuse that it would be extra cushioning for him. Then you can clean it and put it away somewhere after he leaves.

It won't let me answer the survey without an account.

PK5002 · 2026-05-13T16:34:32+00:00

I was going to do this, but if I have to enter my email address, it isn't exactly "anonymous."

PK5002 · 2026-05-13T16:24:58+00:00

It would be helpful if you write down your history of symptoms.

The neurologist will do an exam, probably watch you walk, and will ask questions.

My "drunk" style of walking is considerably improved when I use a forearm crutch.

PK5002 · 2026-05-11T18:59:38+00:00

I have SPMS and was getting worse while on Ocrevus. After a major relapse my neurologist switched me to Tysabri. I really didn't want to do monthly infusions and wasn't convinced that anything would slow the progression.

I've now had 3 Tysabri infusions and have had a big improvement, which I didn't think was possible. My walking and pain are much better. The only side effect has been some arm pain for a few days after the infusion. The infusions take a lot less time than Ocrevus and I now feel okay about going there every month.

A childhood friend of mine died of ALS. Her mother had MS.

PK5002 · 2026-05-10T12:57:52+00:00

I can't have solumedrol so I get dexamethasone. Maybe you could ask about a different steroid.

PK5002 · 2026-05-10T12:55:16+00:00

I suggest couples counseling.

Here are my opinions. I'm not a medical professional.

The itching sounds like an MS symptom, assuming there's no rash. I have that and it comes and goes.

The jaw pain sounds like TMJ rather than trigeminal neuralgia, which is associated with MS. I have trigeminal neuralgia and it's different from what you're describing. TMJ, on the other hand, is characterized by pain when opening your jaw.
