Allergies and MS
Have you noticed any impact of your allergies (seasonal, food, etc.) on your MS symptoms? For example, do your MS symptoms worsen during allergy flare-ups? If yes, how so?
I don’t know if it’s allergies or just a change in seasons but springtime is really bad for my symptoms. Fatigue is always off the chart. Most often the month of March is the worse, it is when the flowers start coming up and tree pollen is everywhere.
Ugh, spring can be such a tough season so you're definitely not alone in that. All the pollen and weather changes can really throw our bodies off. Have you found anything that helps during this time of year, or do you usually just have to ride it out? – Latoya (Team Member) i thought maybe it was the warmer weather. All I know if I'm so tired in the spring, all I want to do is sleep! I wish I could find something that would help.
After living with MS for 30yrs I’ve been told I have RA due to the blood test. I’m 81. How is this possible?
doctor's will test for RA through blood tests. Have you been feeling a lot of swelling and pain in your joints? We have a site for RA as well if you would like to get more information about this: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/. I hope this is helpful. Jill (Team Member)
