PMS+MS= Anxiety Attacks

Hi all (but mostly the ladies), Recently I've been suffering anxiety attacks. They feel more biochemical then 'mental' if you know what I mean... I find they occur on the lead up to that time of the month and I'm trying to work out if my hormones are setting off MS symptoms...? I know this is possible but it's that age old question of am I just loosing my mind?!?! Anyone else had similar experiences or know of anything that may help? I take lots of supplements, exercise, try not to stress (lol) and I'm on Copaxone. So I don't think anxiety is a side effect of Copaxone but is of MS? Ahhhhhhhhhh ? Help... ? xx

@skyzie , I'm not a girl either, but your body may not be able to manage the temperature variations imposed by your monthly cycle. An increase in body temperature can exacerbate your MS symptoms on a temporary basis until your temperature reverts. Being aware of these facts may help curb your anxiety.

Hi @skyzie I am certainly at my worst around my time of the month, physically because I have a rise in temp plus I am so snappy and short tempered also experiencing anxiety. But I am lucky that it only lasts a few days. Hard to give advice as we are all so different but I usually hide myself away with a hot water bottle and gossip magazines ?? Keep well Rebecca x
