Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Type: Relapsing-remitting MSJust discovered yesterday that I probably have M.S. after having an MRI. Explains alot of the last several years. I've been having chronic migraines for 8 months, though there is supposedly not a connection. Some of the lesions can be explained by migraines but others not. Just looking to learn more and be encouraged.
Treatments
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Very helpful but if I don't stretch every single day I suffer.
- Zanaflex Working / Worked
- Has been very helpful with chronic muscle spasms through out body. Also helps me sleep good as well as helps with the migraines I experience.
- Massage Working / Worked
- I believe Massage helped me through my first flare though it didnt know it as MS at the time.
Close Migraine Headaches
Severe Chronic Migraines since 4/08. Finally found the right med. combo to make huge changes. Also just told I have MS.
Treatments
- Botulin Toxin Working / Worked
- I think it helped with the intensity of the pain but not the frequency. Due to spasticity in my neck, there was some difficulty with the injections there and for 3 weeks I couldn't bend my head over and brush my teeth or eat but that went away.
- Caffeine Working / Worked
- Helps with a.m. headaches. Only drink 1 cup in a.m. sometimes 1 in afternoon if a mild headache. Only works on mild headaches.
- Excedrin Working / Worked
- Will sometimes help with a mild-moderate pain.
- Imitrex Working / Worked
- Worked for a month or so then quit working. Took too long for relief.
- Magnesium Working / Worked
- Definately helps with muscular issues and migraines! won't ever do without it again. Keeps bowels moving without diarrhea.
- Relpax Working / Worked
- Works pretty well. I alternate Relpax and Frova.
- Topamax Working / Worked
- Unfortunately, topomax effected my vision and also, after 3 months it still had not made any difference at all. I was surprised since so many have had good results.
