Pain

[nicoly3467]

Hi Friends-I’m having a bad morning so far with inflamed nerve pain. I have daily nerve pain anyway from MS, but this is worse.

It may be due to increasing my new oral MS Tx (Tecfidera) to maintenance dose just one week ago. My new Tx is working very well for me, but had similar pain on 3rd day of maintenance, just worse today. This intense pain is not a common side effect of medicine, but maybe the military is going to work in my body! Took Advil and it’s not helping and can’t go to doc appt today, oh well, I can do what I can do.

I’m saying to myself-“This too shall pass” but it’s VERY hard when you are in it, as many of you understand. It’s difficult to move around, or even think straight, when this level of pain strikes, so just resting now.

Thanks for listening, Nikki

To live in that space is unbearable, I've been living there for far to long. It can crush ones spirit. I hope you find relief soon. I've found for myself that when my body is under stress it increases my neuropathy. Some medications do it to me not necessarily in the list of side effects however when my body is experiencing stressors it makes it so much worse. Hang in there nicoly3467 might check in with your doctor and see if something cant be done to help that.

I sure hope you get to the other side of this quickly. I'm sorry you're hurting so much right now.

I agree with Allen5280 I too have to live with nerve pain in my legs and feet. Talk to your doctor, you might need to temporarily increase one of your nerve pain killers. Hope you feel better soon

try a cool bath if you can to calm the nerves down.

Funny you said that, I took a warm epsom salt bath yesterday when bad pain first struck, but it didn’t help much. I’ll keep your idea in mind.

Thank U!

try a cooler shorter bath then that may help
