MS and Perimenopause

How are you ladies dealing with this? I reached out to my neurologist and she’s been out of the office but I’m feeling terrible and it just dawned on me that I’m in perimenopause and I’m feeling like I’m in a relapse. Also, I’m wondering if it progressed your MS.

I’ve been on HRT for about 18 months now after really struggling. My period (which I was getting every 2/3 weeks) was flairing up my MS really badly. I just couldn’t function. Had to fight to be taken seriously, as I was only 40, at the Dr. Only when I got a female Dr was I taken seriously. Now I have the HRT gel and it has really helped. Hope you get some help soon!

@Chloe_Metson thank you so much. I’m 47 and I feel worse then when I was first diagnosed. I don’t think this issue is addressed much for women, or at least I haven’t heard much talk about it.
