Helping Fatigue as a Multiple Sclerosis Symptom

As most anyone with multiple sclerosis knows, fatigue is one of the most common multiple sclerosis symptoms. There are some different drugs on the market that doctors try in order to help alleviate fatigue. Some of them work for some people while other one work for different people.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Can Be Treated

In this video, Lauren speaks of how she finally gives in and lets the doctor give her something to help with her fatigue. She resisted taking a drug to help with fatigue as one of her multiple sclerosis symptoms but finally realized that she needed to do something.

Lauren was first put on Amantadine to try to help but found that it actually made her sleepy. The doctor then gave her Provigil to try and she found that it worked much better for her. However, she also speaks of someone she met that found that Amantadine worked and that Provigil didn’t. This just shows the differences in how different people react to different drugs.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Can Be Difficult

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms are sometimes difficult to treat. The two drugs that Lauren speaks about doesn’t cover the entire spectrum of what can be used. I personally have been on both of those plus 4-AP, Adderall, and now just starting Desoxyn. So far, none of them have worked for me. You just have to work with your dotors hopefully find what will work for you.

Living with Multiple Sclerosis – Provigil and Fatigue

While multiple sclerosis symptoms differ from person to person, I thought that Kimberly did a great job of walking you through the various multiple sclerosis symptoms that she has had to deal with.

I really liked how Kimberly pointed out that while her multiple sclerosis symptoms have varied considerably over time, in the end, it was manageable thanks to having a great support structure. She gives absolute credit to her husband for being her “rock” to get through all of this.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Well Presented

I thought that Kimberly did a great job of putting together this video about her multiple sclerosis symptoms too. The music is soothing and the video appears to be professionally done. Overall, I think it is well worth the little bit of time that it will take for you to watch.

I do hope you enjoy this video. Remember though, it is someone’s personal experiences with their multiple sclerosis symptoms and your symptoms may differ. The next video, below, is about multiple sclerosis symptoms and diagnosis. It is a professionally produced video that originates from a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Multiple Sclerosis – Kimberley’s Story

Multiple Sclerosis. MS. Symptoms. This is a little something to give information about what some of us live with when living with Multiple Sclerosis. Everyone wants to know what it feels like. It’s hard to put into words.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms from a Doctor’s Perspective

Multiple Sclerosis – Mayo Clinic

Dean M. Wingerchuk, MD, professor of Neurology, at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, provides an overview of multiple sclerosis symptoms and diagnosis.

As you see, the first video was about multiple sclerosis symptoms from the perspective of a patient. The second video presents multiple sclerosis symptoms from more of a clinical perspective. All in all though, you will find that neither differs from the other by much! Keep in mind, like I said before, that multiple sclerosis symptoms are quite variable from one patient to the next.

Yes, I will see the neurologist, I will make an appointment. Only reason I have not yet is that she tells me (as do others) that not EVERYTHING is an Exacerbation and just to wait it out and be calm. This is just what this is, etc. But I wanted to ask here b.c I get such fine information and thorough answers fom real people who live with this.

My teacher has is and she isn’t on any medication. She drinks ginger tea 24/7, i’m guessing as a sustitute. I’m guessing she might not have enough money to pay for the treatment.

I really would like to help her because she is a wonderful women . and my mom has MS too. So I guess I feel a closer connection. I just hope nothing bad will happen if she chooses not too.

She was dianosed 5 years ago. And my mom talked to her and my teacher told her she has had quite a few flare ups. (I’m not a a stalker, my mom and her have talked because they both share the condition. and I have Tourette’s. I guess that is why I want to help her.)

I don’t want anything bad to happen to her. So do you know what would happen if she is not on medication. I know, that she will continue to get worse and worse. But truthfully the only thing I’ve noticed is that she forgets somethings, but then again, everyone does. And she gets moody sometimes, but again, everyone does. But I know my mom has both of those symptoms so. I would appriciate an answer.

I know, it’s 100% up to her. But if she doesn’t have enough money, I would love to try to help and raise some, if she’s okay with it.

Thanks!!

In October I was Diagnosed with DKA upon admittance to the ER because my head doctor mis diagnosed my diabetes and put me on steriods which put me up to a 900 sugar level. From my symptoms, I was believe to be in DKA for over a month before my sugars were stabilized, and have been since October.

However, I didnt lose hair before November, then in November I started losing ALOT of hair. I discussed this with my doctor in November and he said not to worry about it, however because its still happening and Ive lost half my hair already and continue to lose large huge clumps of hair when I shower- I am concerned that this is growing "out of the norm" and into the problematic stage.

To be frank- I have alot of hair and its thick- so my hair appears normal now- not thick anymore. And I Have no balding spots, which is good.

Now- I know I should see my doctor, expect for the fact that I Have no job, no money and no family assistance to help me because I am an only child with no relatives with no job because I am on disability for my Multiple Sclerosis- this is why I am asking for advice from yahoo answers instead of going to the doctor because I cant afford it this month- and by next month I am afraid about losing even more hair.

So my question to you guys is- when you experienced hair loss- did you lose half your hair?
When did the hair loss stop?
By 3 months should my hair loss be stopping?

What if anything could they do if I went to the doctor?
Hair loss is not genetic in my family- so I know its diabetes related- I just dont know how to stop it!

Thank you guys soo soo much!!!
Angela
