Hi all, diagnosed with RRMS in 2010 and have 2 children aged 8 and 5 years. I have recently been having very heavy periods and assume it is possibly pre menapause symtoms although GP can not confirm. Has anyone experienced this and how did/ does it effect your MS any support would be helpful, thank you
It’s not a great help with MS, that’s for sure. The possible symptoms of menopause - insomnia, low mood, aches and pains, vaso-motor stuff like hot flushes - none of it helps when loaded on top of the often-overlapping) stuff we have to deal with already with the MS.
I’m much older than you and post-menopausal. Personally I regard HRT as part of the network of thing I take/do to keep the system as stable as it can be - the others being a DMD, effective anti-depressant, good nutrition, fresh air, exercise, sleep - all that. But everyone’s experience is different and some people sail through the menopause without drugs, even with MS. You might turn out to be one of them.
