Primary MS symptoms #shorts

Let’s call it as it is… MS fatigue is NOT the same 🙅🏼‍♀️ as “regular” fatigue that people without MS feel.

Similarly ☝🏼, MS symptoms like fatigue, depression, and anxiety can be caused from external forces (ie. stress, heat intolerance 🥵, isolation, poor sleep), but they can also be CAUSED FROM MS!!

This means that you’re NOT doing anything wrong or managing your MS poorly… it’s simply the disease process of MS that’s causing you to feel fatigued (this is called “primary fatigue” 🥱), depressed, and anxious.

👉🏼 Symptoms caused FROM MS are called “primary symptoms”

👉🏼 Symptoms caused from external sources are called “secondary symptoms”

👉🏼 Primary & secondary symptoms are TREATED DIFFERENTLY!!

If you’re experiencing fatigue, depression, or anxiety for “no reason” — meaning you can’t think of anything you did or anything that happened to cause you to feel fatigue, depressed, or anxious — 👩🏼‍⚕️ then talk to your doctor/neurologist about best MS management strategies.

You’re not alone. You’ve got this 👊🏻.

I've felt like this my entire adult life. Diagnosed depression and anxiety. I'm now 47 and finally diagnosed with MS. Now I'm just looking back at my life knowing it was mostly MS and how much time it has taken from me.

Those things alone aren’t the real issue with it. They are the byproducts. Having legit nerve pain affect your body being able to function when your mind is thinking it should and it doesn’t brings about compensation and that increases fatigue. Recovery from things takes longer. It’s very frustrating. Don’t even get me started when all of it along with extreme bouts of constipation hit at once.

Started having issues in November 2019. It was instantaneous one second I was normal, and the next, I thought I was having a stroke . When I went to the hospital, they said it wasn't a stroke. I spent the next 3 years going to doctors and finally diagnosed with MS. I know some people can live normally without issues, but I, on the other hand, go to bed every night praying I don't wake up! I wouldn't wish this on anyone!

I wish I could walk backward like that. I can barely walk forward.

Could be low b12 (under 400pg) masquerading as MS symptoms. If it is true MS, lifestyle choices like exercise, whole foods, good sleep, and lots of nerve support supplements are key

I agree. MS makes feel all of those moods

I agree. There's nothing to read for the comments.

Try the Mediterranean diet, use Herb's like turmeric, ginger and Asian ginseng and speak to a chiropractor.

Look into lion's mane mushroom as well.
