I'm 31 And I Think I'm Going Through Menopause? Medication For Muscle Spasms In Feet? Tooth Decay From Ocrevus?

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Midvale, UT

It has been about 7-8 months since my last menstrual cycle. No spotting, nothing. I'm definitely not pregnant. Has anyone had this happen? Is it the MS or medication that could be causing this? Also, I have crazy constant muscle spasms in my feet and toes. It is non-stop and in every moment of every day. I was prescribed baclofen but that caused problems with breathing so my neurologist switched me to Flexeril. The Flexeril doesn't cause me any side effects but it just doesn't help.

I just want to start by saying, I didn't know what to expect when I came onto this website. I do know I didn't expect so many people to respond so quickly. I can't describe how this has made me feel. Thank you all so much đź’™

Regarding the spasms, I'm already using marijuana for pain but it's having no effect on the spasms. That could just be the strain I'm using but I don't have other options because it's not legal where I live.
As for the damage to my teeth, my only options are OTC treatments. I don't have dental insurance and not enough income to pay out of pocket. If it is all due to a PH imbalance in my mouth, then maybe it's as simple as finding some kind of mouth rinse out supplement to restore those levels. I'll do some research tomorrow and see if I can find anything like that. I'll be back on to post if I find something.
Thanks again everyone. I wish you all the best. 🤗

I'm always open to advice/suggestions. I would love to exchange knowledge with her if she's open to it. Hopefully we could both walk away with a new helpful tool or two.

I use Copaxone, 40 mg 3 X / week now, 3-4 years ago I was injecting 20 mg daily. Well 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, had a mastectomy, 1 1/2 yrs of chemo, 35 radiation treatments. Had one molar pulled during Chemo, lost 2 wks of treatment because of that. Thought I had always been careful, taking good care of my teeth, well, went to my dentist, found out my teeth are toast!! Need 6 ?, removed by a Oral Surgeon. Talking with a cousin, whose wife died from MS. told me Cindy lost her teeth while using Copaxone & got dentures!! Ponder on that

I am on Orevus as well, and I lost every filling I have ever had. I am in the process of getting it all fix. For the cramps, Baclofen has helped me at a lower dose mixing with a CBD/THC mix

I've had great luck with spasm reduction by using CBD.
