Which problem is causing the problem?
So there you are getting on with your life, getting stuff done, dealing with all kinds of sudden but unavoidable stress & thinking that's why you feel so peculiar. Then your bloods come back & it turns out your thyroid has gone haywire!
So after lots of extra tests & some issues with admin staff who apparently know better than the doctors (less said the better!) I have medication to calm my thyroid & some to calm my rapid pulse.
I have an upcoming appointment at endocrinology but also seem to suddenly have very little muscle in my legs. With all the life stresses & hospital panic over heart rates it never crossed my mind to mention that my legs had been unusually heavy as it wasn't really a big problem. However since this time yesterday I've noticed a significant decline & wondered if anyone has had any similar experience. I'm not certain whether this is an ms problem or if it's related to the thyroid issues. 🤔
Hello @lilbird, sorry you’re going through it. The problem with us being given the burden of our MS diagnosis, is that it doesn’t exempt us from the normal things that other people encounter in life. Like thyroid problems, diabetes, blood pressure issues etc etc. It sounds to me like the recent traumas have caused a setback, or flair up. Are you keeping your MS nurse or neuro up to speed? At leafstalk you know what’s wrong and are on medication now which should bring about a sense of balance. Keep eating and drinking well, and keep those stress levels at bay! Hope you feel better soon x
@lilbird , have you only just recently started on these thyroid and pulse meds? It could just be your body getting used to the new medication........ Just a thought.
