I started getting headaches a lot lately, also, my finger will bend and I have to wait, or prey it open myself. Along with my memory problems, it gets very annoying. I haven't dated in over 5 yrs, I was dating a man that basically said he could not deal with my illness...cause I also have breast cancer.
I no longer work, which makes my days boring, I would love to have someone to just go to a movie or dinner with.
Btw, if the Finger locking gets persistent they make an easy slip on finger knuckle splint, called 3 point oval 8 finger splint, under $15. My sweetheart spouse with ms uses one to stop the finger locking to make eating easier. Started with a multi size pack size 8,9,10,11 to find her correct size. We think it's the breast cancer drugs (joint side effects) that started the finger locking. One more hurdle to jump over, life's challenges never stop.
My fingers sometimes lock up. I just chalk it up to MS and pretty much move on. Luckily it only lasts about a minute or so until I pry them open. I take Baclofen 3 times a day to help. Good Luck.
Thank you all for your responses. I do stay hydrated walk everyday....I am changing my neurologist because she tells me one thing gives me a shot, which helped....when they started sticking again, she says it must be me, like it's all in my head.
If I was near u I would..I have memory problems too.. And headaches I learned to live with them or when they get to bad I do caffeine Mountain Dew. It seems to relax me..I am a stay at home mom try going to the library or going to parks libraries got a lot of free programs go on this website to meet friends it is called meetup.com
