It's been very stressful and sad around my house. My dad passed away on 21st of December just 4 days be4 Christmas. It's been hard and I think I'm in a relapse have not been feeling right. The docs put me on this medicine I stopped taking it it giving me tremors or I call them seizure thing. Idk if there tremors or what they are. I shake like a seizure but I'm aware of what's going on and it's very painful. The oxycodon never did this to me idk what to do. I tried smoking pot it gives me the shaking thing. I'm scared idk what they are. My dad's funeral is January 7. We have a go fund account to help with the funeral. My dad was the main bread winner in the house now it's up to my mom, me, and my husband. Thanks for letting me vent I'm sooooo stressed.

It’s a stressful time at Christmas without have a family member pass away. Back in 1980 my dad passed away on Christmas Eve after 30 days in the hospital from a heart attack. Was tough the first few years but then got better as we remember the good times 👍🏼. The thought will always be there. Bless you and your family 🙏😉

I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad, especially during what we usually think of as a joyous time. I hope your doctor can help with this change in symptoms.

I do not know where you live or what resources are available. Do you know anyone in your area who is coping with MS or other similar diseases? It might be a benefit to talk to that person. Most of us who have experienced a close family member's death never forget...and not a few of us regret we didn't say what might have been said to provide solace to the remaining family. (There is so much of that I wonder that we weren't taught what to say as an initiator of the pertinent conversation.)

😥😩😢 So sorry your dad passed, especially around the holidays. It tends to taint holidays going forward. Stress can really make our bodies feel horrible, even healthy people. Please tell your doctor as this is causing your body to go overboard. It's better to try to head things off before it can get even worse! Take things one little step at a time and not "eat the entire meal in one bite". Keep venting as this is the steam coming out of the pressure cooker. Without the steam the pot (you) will explode.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so hard. Praying for you and your family. Stress can definitely make MS worse, so please contact your doctor for the symptoms you’re having. Again, so sorry for what you’re going through ❤️🙏🏻

Sorry for your loss. I hope you find something quickly to help with your seizures. Could all of your stress be the cause of the seizures? Have the docs looked at that? Sometimes when I'm experiencing high bad stress it will trigger a round of vertigo for me.

i'm so sorry for your loss. my dad died almost a year ago and i was a daddy's girl. even though he'd been sick for ages with parkinson's, it hurt... getting through all the firsts without him was rough, but for your dad to pass right before the holiday! i can't imagine the extra pain that brought.

as for the shaking... i'm NO doctor, but: i have what a neuro called a paroxysmal spasm that contorts my hands (the really bad ones go to my feet), my chest, jerks my neck back and stops me breathing. i'm not saying this is like what you're experiencing, only mentioning it b/c my primary care was convinced it was a seizure even though i kept saying i was completely aware of everything around me. so there are various things that could be seizure adjacent (just like those pesky ms-adjacent illnesses), that still require treatment.

please call your doctor.

Dear Jackjosh to echo the group something isn't right. that's what doctors are for. sending deep condolences. and be careful of smoking pot. it could make the symptoms worse. wishing you well.

Jackjosh, I am so sorry for your loss. This is a late reply. My apologies. Please, please try to remember to be good to yourself. Rest, de-stress, slow down. I lost my dad just before Thanksgiving a few years ago. We had ham sandwiches that Thanksgiving. No one felt like days of cooking, so we didn't! The fog will lift one day, but you're wandering right now. Go slowly. Prayers for comfort for ya'll in the coming days.
