Mentally drained

Hi everyone, hope you are ok as much as we can be. I have read many posts, a lot focus on visible symptoms which are physical. I don't have so many apart from body spams, tremors. Everything else is stuff no one can see, body tingling, hot flushes, fatigue, leg pains, neuropathic pain of my face feeling like it is burning. However mentally, I am depressed and emotionally really numb. I can't even cry. I feel like my brain takes longer to respond or I think one word but say another. Think of one word but write another. My written communication has more spelling mistakes too. I also have a brain lession in the area of your brain that impacts motivation and the will to do things. From research- Lesions to the caudate nucleus can result in abulia, or absence of will, an interesting outcome when considered in conjunction with evidence of its role in goal-directed behavior and motivation. I could be all day without doing anything which is not possible as I financially depend on myself. It really impacted my routine and how organised I was. Has anyone experienced similar or feel the same way? I'm trying to be positive but it is hard as I also am a light sleeper and MS really impacted my sleep, only now finally I am getting some sleep after 8 months of being sleep deprived. I tried everything, ear plugs, pillow sprays, sleeping pills and etc. Anyways wanted to get more the mental thoughts from you follow MSers. Thanks in advance!

Hi, i was the same when i was diagnosed, now i am using Coimbra Protocol and i feel so much better. Try to think positively and make exercises too. You will be better don't worry. We are all the same here.

Hi there, have your hot flushes been put down to MS? I hope you’ve found a way to feel better than you were. I’m currently experiencing progressively worse random clamminess and tiredness which no seems to know what is causing it. It’s quite scary x
