Drooling

I've been diagnosed now since November and have had good results with Kesimpta since January but lately I've been struggling with premenopause and ugh sometimes I can't tell the difference between if I'm cold or sweating and I wake up at the same time 5am with an excessive amount of drool on my chest I feel disgusting all the time the put me on black kolash because any other hormone treatment is too risky for my other brain condition. My partner is understanding but just feel unnormal and that he could have normal I hate going to bed it's miserable, anyone else going thru this?

  1. Hey , this is such a great question and one that I hope others see and chime in with to share their experiences. We have a few people mention menopause in the community that I found through a quick search - https://multiplesclerosis.net/forums?term=menopause&page=1, however, none of them mention being on Kesimpta specifically. I wanted to let you know that I'm going to flag this forum to share on our social media channels next week to see if we can get some more eyes on it and experiences shared. I hope that helps and will write back when we share it to let you know. 🧡 Kayleigh, MultipleSclerosis.net team

    1. Not on Kesimpta but ya; I'm a drool-er. Think the right corner of my mouth will always be a bit chafed despite lip protection applied and I should be menopausal(Hysterectomy about2000) as well. Oh the joy; Ha. . . . .Not! Still get migraines(They said they would disappear as I entered menopause. . . Ha! . . .Not! I no longer worry about 'him', I left him in 93 as he would never be able to support us through my vastly mounting med bills we were falling through the cracks. Without him I could get coverage and support. My diagnosis came less than 6mos after getting married in '88.' The stress of getting married, having a man around 24/7, was 'crazy' making for me(Not his fault) The good thing about getting married was it made me face the abuse by family. Despite the legalistic, fundamental church we belonged to pronouncing me healed(HA HA!!) The fall of 93/94 I ran, hobbled, whatever. . . I left!
