Supporting daughter

Hi all. My lovely 15yr old was dx with RRMS 2yrs ago. She has gone from being an active, sociable “normal” teenager to spending most of her life trapped in bed. She missed 90% of school last year and is now in her final year with similar prospects. She is in debilitating pain all the time, and sleeps for most of the day. Her consultant has repeatedly told us that MS does not cause pain and to go to the GP. The GP then tells us it must be the MS and has prescribed painkillers. She is quite reluctant to use painkillers and has found they don’t take the pain away (Pregablin/codeine/naproxen). Lately the consultant is insistent it is just mental health and there is no pain. Lose some weight and get out more and it will all be fixed! It is breaking my heart seeing her in so much pain and also living with the depression this dx has caused. I feel so lost with how to help her when the medical professionals are essentially calling her a liar.

Chat to GP about Amertripterline, Gabapentin, Duloxetine and Nortriptyline. Search YouTube for "Aaron Boster pain". Good luck.

Yeah my ms doc said ms doesn’t give pain i believe they still got a lot of researching they need to do truly sorry your daughter is going through this gp just want to chuck tablets at us even the hospital and the tablets make us sick 🤢 on top of what where going through I wish your daughter all the best and I hope she finds something that can help her trough healthy drinking and eating and 15mins exercise every other day and stretching every morning and evening can help with pains
