Depression and more

Hi family, it has been a little while since i hve posted and responded to you all. I have been going through an ms relapse and this one hit me pretty hard this time for some reason. I was very weak and unfortunately with being on gilenya my blood pressure stays high and im always dizzy😞 plus I have been having chest pain and tightness around my heart. My neuro had me fo ekg that came back fine then my primary had me do a stress test and towards tge end is when i started having my tightnes and pain so now im going to do a heart cath on March 20 to see if I have any blockage and if so a stent will be placed right away and I just feel like im having one issue after another but I'm picking myself back up and getting back in the ring.

It is certainly overwhelming when things just hit you all at once. I have certainly been there, and it is hard but it does get better. I am happy that your neuro is helping you to get to the bottom of all this. Please get better, and that I am hopeful that you will be on the path to recovery soon!

I'm sorry you've been going through so much. I am glad that you are doing the tough work to get a good, clear diagnosis. Knowing what you are really dealing with is the first step to getting better.

Come back when you feel up to it and let us know how you are and what you've found out.

Thank you greaterexp, it has been tough especially since this is my first winter with ms and I'm still learning how my body will react. I have had other steroid treatment s since being diagnosed over a year ago but this time was just harder on me and yes I will do all I can to figure out the right steps to take to get the best diagnosis💪🙏

Hi my name is ssdw1958 i’m sorry to hear that you are having a hard time I hope things get better for you. People who don’t go through what we do really have no idea how are you feeling. We are on all different kinds of medicine that help us but also give us different kind of feelings and sometimes just don’t know how to deal with them. So I hope that you start to have a brighter day. Have a good day! ssdw1958

[Hidden in reply to ssdw1958]

Good afternoon ssdw1958 pleasure to meet you and thank you for your concern. You are so right no one knows the pain and hidden struggles that we go through everday and I get tired of hearing how I don't look sick or that anything is wrong with me. Ms just hits each person differently but together we will overcome this disease.

[ssdw1958 in reply to Hidden]

We have to stay strong. Have a good day

Sorry to hear you're getting hit with a lot of different things all at once. Hopefully the heart issue isn't too serious and can be fixed easily. I hope you're feeling better soon.

[Hidden in reply to Peruzzot]

Good evening Peruzzot, I am sorry for just getting back to you. Thank you so much for your concern and I'm staying optimistic about everything and hoping as well that the heart issue will be an easy fix.

Take care of yourself. Had a stress heart attack last year and dont want to repeat that. Puts a different perspective. God is good, still breathing and going.

[Hidden in reply to Brindisi1]

Good evening Brindisi1, God is good all the time. I'm trying to make sure I stay hydrated to flush out the steroids and get as much rest as possible. Thank you for reaching out to me. Im super happy that God pulled you through from the stress heart attack and having you share your story.

[Brindisi1]

Stress story too long, medical conflicting info. But as you said God is good all the time and will give you strength to get through. Just advocate for yourself.

Prayers

Hi Hopeful1-I’m sorry to hear you are going through a relapse and having a heart catheter soon. That’s a lot to deal with. Relapses are hard enough-I’ve had my share and understand.

I wish you the best in your recovery and hope everything goes well with your procedure.

Take care-Keep us posted!

Nikki
