In reply to MS symptoms Anyone????, posted by morganpmiller on August 5, 2009, at 19:48:37
Many thanks Philippa - would you happen to know whether people in the early stages of MS can come back with perfectly regular MRI results? Would love your thoughts...
I've never been tested for Lyme disease- might be a worthwile avenue to pursue but to be honest I think it's unlikely as I've had none of the primary symptoms (I know these don't always manifest, but still...). I'm taking minute doses of Lamotrigine (25mg - sub-therapeutic I imagine but seems to help) and Ritalin (10-20mg a day - all my symptoms get worse when it wears off). I was on Celexa and Trazodone for several years and stopped both a couple years ago. I sympathise very much, by the way, with your remarks on another thread I just spotted on your frustration with efforts to write when feeling exhausted and dull and incomprehension of the perpetually mystifying chicken and egg problem. Personally, I don't know whether to wade deeper into the whole experimenting with meds business which I find rather wearying and depressing or just to try to be cheerfully stoical as far as possible and risk missing out on an improbable 'miracle cure'! At least I suppose I'm lucky to have a choice at this stage.
