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.

Research coming from the University of Alberta, in Canada, is pointing to a possible breakthrough in treating Multiple Sclerosis. They are saying that increasing these steroids in the brain of multiple sclerosis patients may reverse or possibly cure multiple sclerosis.

Please take note that this is very early research still! However, one positive note is that, unlike so many other treatments for multiple sclerosis, this one would likely be taken orally instead of as an injection! No more needles is this one pans out!

I know that there are a lot of possible treatments / cures for multiple sclerosis these days but, so far, none of them has really panned out as a real cure. Hopefully, with more research and time, this will change and those of us suffering from multiple sclerosis will finally get some permanent relief from it and all the symptoms that go with it!

Multiple Sclerosis and Hair Loss

Vitamin B-12 Deficiency?

Many people seem to experience hair loss with MS. It is known that a deficiency of vitamin B-12 can cause hair loss, among other things. One of the things that was checked when I was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis was whether or not I had a B12 deficiency. In my case, I was told that my B-12 levels were fine but it is definitely something worth asking your doctor about. I’m not saying, nor is the doctor in this video saying, that you have a B-12 deficiency instead of MS but B-12 deficiencies can have a definite impact on your health.

Watch this video that first appeared on the BBC and see what the doctor has to say. Maybe if you are experiencing hair loss with multiple sclerosis, it might possibly be a B-12 deficiency that is causing the problem.

I’m not sure that I agree with everything he is saying here but it is certainly worth watching!
