Symptoms checker and remedy drugs

Hi, ! While I don't know if any one member has the exact same symptoms of you, I do know that many of our members have dealt with one or more of the symptoms you described. And, pardon me is this is a stupid question, but have you received an MS diagnosis? I only ask because many conditions share symptom overlap with MS and it's important to have an accurate diagnosis so you can proceed to finding the best treatments. Many people with MS use DMTs (disease modifying treatments) to work on slowing demyelination in the central nervous system. You can read a bit about those treatments here -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/treatment/managing-the-disease-progression. There's also a whole host of treatments used to help with some of the symptoms of MS (fatigue, muscle weakness, etc) -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/treatment/managing-symptoms. If you feel that some of your issues can be managed by lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, supplements), you can go that route, though none of those seem to definitively slow dymyelination. Lifestyle changes can have an positive impact and work in partnership with any medications your doctor has prescribed to manage your MS as well as possible.

I wish I could just say, "Take this medication and do this and your symptoms will improve", but, well, that's not safe for me to do and each individual has to find the treatment that works best for them.

On the chance that you don't have a diagnosis of MS, I wanted to share a list of conditions that share some symptoms with MS and you can see if any of them sound like what you are dealing with -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/diagnosis/ruling-out-other-health-conditions. You can ask your doctor for further testing if you are still in the dark as to what's going on with your body.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions. While we can't provide specific advice or diagnosis, for your safety, we are happy to help in any way we can.

Best, Erin, Team Member.

Many thanks for taking the time to write to me, my first post was probably to short and lacking detail. I am not good at getting writing going and knowing what to put in. Yes I got a diagnosis 2008 with brain scans and all, but I got very little help to manage this. I had a gait in the early days and felt like a stroke victim. It really flawed me. As time went on there was different approaches your classic pain killer approach (codeine). I was given pregablin but nothing agreed with me. Everything gives me nausea. I had a bad episode of vomiting and pulled a stomach hernia. It's quite hard to deal with your body not doing what it should be doing. This is a condition that does not get taken seriously. I get never ending messed around with disability benefits. My life is taken over by processes that are worthless and feel attention seeking by the government. On and off and manipulated information where they put words in your mouth and demonstrate a complete lack of understanding. The stress is dreadful with being messed around so much I have very little understanding myself, everything seems to contradict. There are to many symptoms and problems that come with this and it feels like nothing can get treated in isolation so a label gets slapped on this and your left to suffer. It's draining I feel like this has aged me massively. I am 48 I don't drink or smoke or anything. I find it hard to eat very much food now. I have started taking lots of vitamin gummies to see if it makes any difference. I find not absorbing vitamins strange and wonder if the body needs a massive dose like the intravenous thing that I think some celebrities do. Something that kick starts the immune system full of good stuff. But I don't know, the abdomen jumping thing that is happening right now is hard to deal with because it increases my anxiety and I can't deal with anything.
