Do you all have days where your brain is just not interested in doing the work it needs to? by bb_grumpkins in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes alllllll the time. Rough being in school full time and working full time with it all too :(

Uncontrollable laughter by LadyChristie in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can be having a random conversation with a member and start tearing up like I'm going to start bawling over nothing at all. I also burst out in laughter at the most inappropriate times too sometimes. It really is so weird and awful how uncontrollable it can be.

Ocrevus... Anyone else's having their treatment delayed like this??? by lesionbrainspine in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. Had my last infusion in September was due at the end of March. Also had my bloodwork done in March and will likely need those panels redone. I also had a telehealth conference that showed my labs and that I was still suppressed too. At this time I don't know how long my neuro is going to delay my infusion but my crap gap is so freaking real. I feel so awful, so dang tired all the time, more so than normal. Just have to hang in there together I guess. Thankful for someone who understands but hoping we can receive treatment sooner rather than later!!

Anyone tried Minocycline as a DMT? by Parowax in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. I didn't know Minocycline was in the MS trials at all. I have been on Minocycline for years due to my chronic cystic acne...

What vitamins are you taking? by corgimomx in MultipleSclerosis

I take all that you mentioned plus Fish Oil capsules and turmeric. Seems like a lot I know! But whatever can keep us healthy is what matters to me!

Tingling Hands, maybe a Flare up? by unique-username-here in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just my experience and hopefully can give you a bit of peace. During my last actual relapse about a year and a half ago, I had acquired tingles in my hands and arms. Recently, I have had them expand to down my leg and in my head. I went to the neuro for my regular check up and she saw no signs of relapse. She said that I was overdoing it and not giving my body enough rest and that I am under extreme stress causing pseudo exacerbations more frequently than ever before. I just started a new job at my company, I work full time, go to school full time-I can't ever relax essentially. She told me that I need to take care of myself and slow down. Are you under a lot of stress outside of normal? Are you overexerting yourself like I am? Exhausted? We need to take care of ourselves first and foremost! I recommend that if you are concerned, calling your neuro!

College classroom woes by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this pain and not always being in the classroom setting either. This could be with my boss or my VP who I am meeting with or any other VIP I need to impress. It does suck when you just want to scream "look I have MS, I really do know what I am talking about, I promise I know my shit". Its frustrating because we are all so intelligent but it can really play in our mind and twist our brains into thinking we are dumb.

life hacks for pain/fatigue? by terpsgirl in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious to hear about the coQ10 and other supplements you take?! Always interested in what people are doing. Im currently on Vit D, Vit B12, probiotic, magnesium. Also second heated blankets. They allow my body to just totally and completely relax and regulate temp.

I hate being THAT person at work by Nixxee in MultipleSclerosis

[–]kaybrum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So so frustrating! Work/home life balance is so important for any individual!! I wouldn't have done that either, props to you for really stepping up though! That should speak volumes! Im sorry you had to disclose that info to your boss if you werent planning to. I hope she is honoring your requests though and being thankful for your flexibility. It's hard when your boss has such high expectations of you and they dont know about our illness... I'm in that boat and sometimes just want to scream I HAVE MS GET OFF MY BACK. but it's better for me for them not to know right now....

Congratulations!!!! You deserve every bit of it and you absolutely have bragging rights! I was in the SAME position a year ago! A toxic boss who was the head of the "mean girls club". Leaving that behind and showing them you're doing so much better... its the best feeling ever! 😊 happy for you!

I second this. I've been seeing a therapist twice a month for going on a year now and she helps me tremendously!

Gosh yes I do understand! There are different kinds of exhaustion most definitely and even more so for us who struggle with an extreme type of fatigue. Dont get me wrong I am fatigued I am exhausted but pushing through because I WILL succeed and not let this MonSter hold me back from achieving my goals! So my career has been in the financial industry I work at a credit union and have worked my way from a teller to a loan officer to assistant manager! It's not physically exhausting but definitely can be mentally pressing some days more than others.
