I was diagnosed in July 2011. I was having my house sided and it was in the 90s. I had no air-conditioning and I was super tired and I had like a knot in my shoulder that was bothering me and I had my husband‘s entire family from out of town in and we were having a pool party and a cookout, I couldn’t even be outside. I felt like I couldn’t breathe of a strange because 90° and humid was my type of weather. I would always say I couldn’t wait to hit menopause to be warm that it really sucks. In… read more
@A MyMSTeam Member does your family agree with your doctor ,that your personality is starting to change? I believe I am going through perimenopause and a lot of symptoms overlap with MS symptoms. Numbness, tingling, brain fog etc. I hope you feel better soon !
I had a total hysterectomy at age 34 and surgically induced menopause. I got diagnosed with MS 3 weeks later . I had no idea what was happening . My MRI dated lesions as old as 12 -15 yrs old . Hormones play a major role .
I also find my 2 biggest triggers ate stress and the weather . My Nuero says 90 % of his ms patients struggle with this issue . I am now 56 yrs old and in the past year my core body temperature does not regulate at all and when it humid it is if I feel I am moving thru quicksand . My temperament and mood suffer extensively along with fatigue ,brain fog , increase in symptoms becoming more exaggerated. The climate is changing fast and extreme making it feel more intense in the past year . Just FYI info to discuss with your Dr's. Prayers for you !
@A MyMSTeam Member your situation is very similar to my sisters situation except she doesn’t have MS .
The struggle is real. I had to have a hysterectomy due to extreme pain, and heavy bloatness, it was endometriosis. I had the surgery before peri and menopause. Since it wasn't full, removal of uterus, I kept my ovaries. I would sometimes get faux menses. A little pain that lasted for days...The HOT FLASHES 🔥, threw me for a loop. Add menopause to MS and it is no joke. I use liquid drops under the tongue by Balance Femme, it has the main ingredient of Black Cohash.
