Menstrual cycle & MS

How are the ladies coping with the flare ups during their menstrual cycle. I’ve had to take this week off cause I just felt awful, from pain all over, to pins and needles in one leg and blurry vision in my left eye. Oh and extreme fatigue. I have ADHD too which comes with its own problems during my period but I genuinely have had one of the worst times this cycle. Ive seriously considered quitting work. I’ve already gone from full-time to part-time but I’m tired of having anxiety around work and feeling the pressure of showing up for my job regardless of how I might feel physically or mentally in the morning. I can’t cope with the idea of this battle every month nearing my period. I feel like a crazy person! How do others cope with this? 😓

I haven’t had a period in three years for this exact reason. My period symptoms were getting worse with age and then add MS in top of that? WTF?! A huge nope for me! I talked to my GP/OBGYN and they’re fine with it.

I just ended mine thank goodness! I definitely know what you mean. Since being diagnosed with MS my menstrual cycle has been the worse my MS symptoms hit harder for me.
