Anxiety

Does anyone else have bad anxiety before and after your MS diagnosis? Have you noticed it’s all connected to your central nervous system? I use the Headspace app and it works wonders for my anxiety. I do take Ativan when I need it incase I’m in the verge of a panic attack. I also take Sertraline for...

Anxiety

Hi All, A number of my posts have highlighted my continual weight loss. After many tests it appears that it is due to anxiety. I guess I’d overlooked this, but now I tend to wake up at 4am, the MS nurse feels it is anxiety. Having grown up with two alcoholics, albeit very loving, I’ve possibly al...

Anxiety?

I 'feel' like I am having increased difficulty coping, not so much with my symptoms (because I think i'm doing really well, and I feel incredibly well), but with life in general. If I go anywhere (even w...

I just wanted to share a tidbit I got from a show called The Doctors.

My appointment with the neurologist is 3 weeks away. It seemed when it was scheduled (back in July) that it was so far away. I'm so afraid that the neurologist won't listen to me or take me seriously. My doctor specifically told me at my last appointment with her "Do not let them dismiss you, you ne...
