Natural Approach and ...

Post by dinkeygirl »

Hello everyone.

I'm new to the forum. My name is Amber and I was dx in 2007, although I had been feeling off for at least 2 years before that. I have not taken any DMD's at all. I am unfortunate enough to be very very sensitive to drugs and I'm allergic to a whole host of medicines. From what I have went through I'd say so far it's all been mild(except the fatigue..right? Yes) Anyway I take a lot of fish oil, flax, ALA,Vit C, Milk Thistle etc etc....

I had a baby Sept of 2010 and had none of my sx during pregnancy it's been 13 months since having my son and guess what. WHAM got hit a week ago with sx - this time around they seem to be a little more intense. I'd like to mention that I haven't had any support at all from anyone except a few family members - I decided to try and finally find others that understand. This flare up has made me very frightened. 200 ms sufferers, 200 different symptoms I know. The funny feeling in my left leg ( feels like it's ..well I can't describe it it's almost a tickly feeling not tingling necessarily) This time it started with my head feeling like it had pressure in it while I was trying to go to sleep - then the leg, now my right eyebrow twitching.

I feel like I'm being a baby. It isn't as bad as some people have but it has really scared me this time. Not knowing if it will completely go away.... I look at my little boy and I cry. I don't want to be less of a mom just because I can't pick him up due to fatigue..

I think I'm at the "I hate this, why me, I don't know what to expect and I'm terrified phase" LOL hardly fitting into the 4 types box. The only thing I had during this year after having him was some minor twitching in my thumbs and a couple of toes on my foot. Then like I said WOW. That isn't bad for one year I suppose. I am open to suggestions on what may help when your case is mild. I was thinking about trying Zyflamed.

I also just need some support from those that KNOW what this is like. I look out my window and just get very sad. I am not one for self pity - some days it just gets so hard to think I'm on top of this ya know?

Thanks for listening. I am now going to check out the other natural threads.

These symptoms you describe are very similar to mine. If they are transient its probably just sensitive nerves from the past demylination playing up.

dinkeygirl (Amber) – Welcome to ThisIsMS. I think you will find a supportive group here – we understand, not only the physical manifestations, but the emotional ups and downs of MS. We are MANY different personalities and hold MANY different ideas on what MS is; I am sure you will find "kindred spirits" here.
