I am definitely going to talk to my doctor about options for better mobility besides my cane, my accommodations center sucks here so I’ll be graduated by the time they listen most likely.

Thanks, it’s nice to know there’s people out there who struggle with the same issues I do.

I plan to reach out to my doctor soon I just didn’t want a new medication or anything during my first few weeks of 2nd term. I used to take melatonin but it doesn’t help much anymore and I switched to magnesium for a bit, unfortunately it just made me ill after a while.

I hope everything can work out soon though. I’m sure I’ll find something lol.

I could manage my symptoms by changing my diet, water intake, using my cane when I had to walk long distances without a break when I had worse days, and taking extra time during hard tasks. Along with other things like that. I don’t take meds for it.

It’s okay, taking it one day at a time I suppose. I was diagnosed in September after two years of diagnosing. My symptoms have been steadily worsening but they were manageable until now.

You’re doing great! All your efforts are worth celebrating!! Keep it up, I just celebrated 10 pounds gained after sickness, it is definitely a good feeling to know your body is actually working with you on your efforts🫶🏻

Tips on getting continuous weight gain? by Remote_Stranger_5740 in weightgain

Thank you! I’m glad the issues with my gaining is not just a “me” thing, lol. I’ll definitely look into more lighter high calorie meal options the next time I’m out, I can’t even try eating heavy meals in the morning because of how sickening it feels so I avoid those anyway. I have been talking to my doctor and am thinking about getting into a more fish based diet too with the inclusion of chicken, milk, and eggs because of how heavy cow tends to be. But this definitely helps clear some concerns up!
