MS Pain

I have many pains in many parts of my body, all different, all unique and in going to the doctor on Oct 26 2021 to discuss my pains and I'm scared to death. I have two meds that help a little bit and I'm scared those will be taken and replaced with things that don't work. What can I even say to the doctor to get my point across?

  1. Hi . It might help to write down each different type of pain, which part of your body it effects and when it occurs, and then show that chart to your doctor. If your doctor offers new prescriptions, point of each of those types of pain and, for each one, ask how it might help. Also ask whether and how quickly you can go back to your old medications if the new ones are not as effective. Your doctor wants to help. I am sure your doctor will let you go back to old medications if new ones don't help. Best of luck with your appointment. Keep us posted if you feel comfortable doing so. - Lori (Team Member)
