Solid sleep but worse fatigue
Hey guys, I’m really struggling with my MS at the moment, physically I’m a lot stronger than I used to be but my fatigue, pain and short term memory is worse. I used to have issues sleeping through night and in the last month I’ve been having my full 8 hours but waking up more tired than ever, idk what to do, I’m on gabapentin and amitriptyline for my pain and no new lesions since I started treatment on Ocrevus back in 2021 any advice or solidarity would be appreciated 😊
I’ve never taking anything for pain but everytime i notice my body is stronger i feel spasm pain and heaviness in my movement Or fatigue So i rather be as skinny as i am I consume so much coffee and black sweetened tea might be unhealthy for ms they make me energetic i never took pain killer for MS i stopped paracetmol long ago maybe since 214 but i had to take it after glaucoma surgery this week. But i dri k tea coffee over due
I can give you solidarity :) but cannot give you advice :( gabapentin is making me put on weight fast and swelling my feet, but its stopping my spasticity shakey arms and legs. i started baclofen to relax the muscles to give me back some range of movement which will in turn cut the pain, therefore cut the pain meds. but this makes fatigued more. i have oramorph when the pain is too intense but makes me feel guilty that im on the good stuff and i am very aware of pain relief vs addiction. so have a few days on followed by a few days off. MS is shit mate.
