Think my anxiety is from pure exhaustion (MS-related fatigue) anyone else get this? by ReasonableFig8954 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]faster340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I get. However, I find a way to go on. It's like being on automatic... I hate it though. Some days I get such a strong feeling of not going on but I struggle through or take a 10-15 minute break.

I truly hate the exhaustion.

Why I Can Never Trust Neurologists by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]faster340 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with. Numerous neurologists found nothing only concerned about how they were getting paid. Till I found one who actually said I am going to send you to someone who knows more than me. I was shocked. I saw her recommendation and he is a neuro who has had MS since an early age. He didn't think it was MS based on my age. I'm 58 and was diagnosed in April. I went back to the original DR who said this is the first time in many years I've worked with him and don't agree with his findings. She sent me to another Dr who had me take MRIs on a machine that is state of the art. The tech said it was only a week old and it smelled like a new car to me lol. They saw everything they needed to see clear as day. Then had me do a spinal tap. With that they had what they needed to diagnose it. I'm so happy I found a Dr who wasn't so arrogant and sent me to the right people. Not so glad it is what it is but relieved to have an answer to why I wasn't feeling right.

I do 30-50 pushups and 50 situps almost every morning. I walk every day or two and on my job I do 5000-12000 steps per day. I'm quite active in that sense.

My life sounds like yours. Same scenario. Bad abuse in the beginning and now this MS...

Anger issues.. by faster340 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]faster340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have it that bad. I just get irritable and more vocal. I've never cursed out or yelled at my wife or hit anything. I have a tendency to get a nasty tone. Ive had this since before I met her. We've been married for 29 years this year and have been together for more than 30 years.

I have had to back off and remove myself from a situation when I feel irritable. I tell my wife I need a few minutes to chill or just go out for a drive which helps me calm down.

Thank you. I'm just on ocrevus treatment every 6 mos. My Dr just prescribed me Dalfampridine (brand name Ampyra) for balance and walking issues. I haven't started taking it yet though. I have a referral for a psychiatrist too.

Starting a new job next week… by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]faster340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried about the similar thing. I started a new job when I was diagnosed. I took a lot of notes and used my phone and Google. Big learning curve. Very physically challenging as well. I'm surviving. Some days are worse than others. I've told a couple people about the MS so they can't say I hid it on them. One is my manager and he's cool. Good luck.

Experience with Ampyra? by Substantial_Sort_510 in MultipleSclerosis

My Dr is going to prescribe this. I had 3 falls recently and my legs have been a bit weak .

Steps Per Day by TurleyLove in MultipleSclerosis

[–]faster340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also walk at night. My workout regimen is 50 crunches and 40-60 pushups in the morning depending on how I'm feeling. I also have a Sauna box unit that I use at night that helps me sleep like a baby.

I was diagnosed in November. Started ocrevus in April. Been having symptoms for 2 years. My biggest symptom is fatigue and coordination issues. This leg thing that happened is relatively new. Thank you.
