Uhthoff's phenomenon effect mood
I had really hard time during the heat waves... very teary, holding back the tears in public and crying a lot when I was alone, and then constantly anxious but without particular focus of anxiety... there were few other things going on nothing terrible and a change (but a good one) and premenstrual and period (but that doesn't hit me like that usually). I have done a bit of reading of into my leisons locations and my brain one are in areas where emotions/emotions regulations could be effected. I'm fortunate that in general my symptoms that I have been aware of are mild. But now I'm thinking are these emotions difficulties symptoms, I'm pretty good right now but I have had blips over the last few years and general background feeling of unhappiness even though things have been getting better in life for me... so basically I'm wondering if anyone hs experienced emotional dysregulation due to Uhthoff's phenomenon but with no significant increase in other symptoms.
Can't say I've heard of Uhthoff's phenomenon before but I can sympathise and finding it difficult in understanding what my MS is doing to me. I was diagnosed when I turned 50, and had to identify what kind it was. After two MRI's, a thick pile of leaflets thrust into my hands, a small lightweight splint for my "assumed" "drop foot" - another common symptom of MS, and a pair of crutches later I left the hospital. I have since had some explanation about the myelin sheath around my nerves, but not quite where. The most recent MRI's were located at the top of my spine and my head - still waiting for my consultant to phone me at home soon on my results. I've worked out I have Primary Progressive MS. There are no known meds for it - other than CBD oil to possibly reduce the tremors in my hand (I cannot write or sign my name any more) I have tried using my left hand, but without success (YET!!). I am 66 years of age and still don't know what or how much this MS is going to progress in later years. I am blessed with a beautiful wife who has the patience of a saint and understands my moods and rants. The experts reckon I could have had MS for 30 years, that would have included my 10 years in the Army! I didn't have any symptoms then, and had two symptoms three days apart then went to my GP. He referred me to a Neurologist, some months later an MRI, then a second that was the defining moment for me having MS.
@Dino2454 thank you for your response and I am sorry you have been left so alone by the professionals to work out you ms.
