Hi Lauren, It is so nice to see you on here. I have had MS since 2004, at 32 years old. I had my first child at age 40 and the second at 41. My fear was that I thought I would be exhausted and too tired to be with them. It wasn't the case. I felt extremely good being pregnant. I did have a relapse after each one, but even with that, for me, it was the best decision I ever made. I am on Tysabri, and that really helps with my energy levels. There are little things I would try to do when they were toddlers, which was to play games that didn't require too much moving, like dressing me up, or making me into a mummy with toilet paper, coloring, etc. My husband did the 'running around' games. Everyone is different, but it's something that you will never know the answer to unless you do it. I would say, don't let fear be part of your decision making. Lastly, I don't have family near where I live, so I used babysitters for support if I needed a rest. if you have friends and family who can support, then that would be an extra blessing and reason to go for it! Good luck with your decision! Marlo X

Hey Marlo! It’s hard for me to express how grateful I am for your comment!! I just turned 40, and my boyfriend and I have talked about getting married and having children. It was so nice to hear you say that despite you having a relapse after each pregnancy, having children was the best decision you ever made! I really appreciate your advice about what you did when they were toddlers! That really helps!! I feel like what you said about how you will never know the answer unless you do it is absolutely true. I feel that way with lots of things while living with MS. I am very fortunate because I do have family around, however, everyone is busy with their own lives and I would never want to be a burden. So I’ve planned on having babysitters and outside help if needed. Thank you so much again for your incredibly helpful comment! I wish you the very best with everything!! XO

Hi Lauren, so lovely to see you post again ❤ I have had MS since 2010 and now have 2 children. One born in 2021 by c-section and one born in 2023 by vaginal birth. During my first pregnancy I came off treatment and had a minor relapse at 20 weeks so went back on treatment until 34 weeks. With my most recent pregnancy I stayed on treatment throughout the pregnancy until 34 weeks and had no relapses. I have breastfed both babies and restarted treatment within a week of giving birth and haven’t had any relapses which I am so thankful for. My consultant and nurse was very clear that MS shouldn’t hold you back from having children, and that as someone living with MS I could still successfully have a family. The toddler phase is tough but I am lucky to have a super supportive husband who can take over childcare on the days I am struggling with fatigue/pain. I am also a school teacher, working with children from age 3-12. When I returned to work after pregnancy I reduced my hours from 5 days a week to 3 which has made a real positive difference in my work/life balance. Feel free to message me with any other questions. Wishing you all the best whatever route you decide to take.

Hi, I'm staying up too late learning more and more about ms. When my mom and dad were here to visit last April, I was having my first bout of ms and I was tripping and falling a lot, had profound weakness in my legs and was generally exhausted. As if that wasn't bad enough, I got what I think was an ms hug. I wasn't very self-aware at the time bc ms is new to me, so I assumed it was really bad gas or indigestion. Tums and Milk of Mag weren't doing a thing to relieve it. It never once dawned on me it could be anything else, especially since I'm always constipated. The tight, sharp pangs were over my entire abdomen and shot up into my shoulders. I was also short of breath, and inhaling deeper made the pains even worse. I had not seen my parents for a few years and they were only here for a long weekend so I skipped the rest I probably needed and kept carrying on as best I could. I actually wore a loose, flowy dress out to dinner so that I wouldn't have a waist band digging into me and making me feel more miserable. I barely touched what I ordered at the restaurant and I passed on ice cream after our meal--this is very unusual for me! This horrible episode lasted into the next day before it finally started to subside. Is it safe to say I was having an ms hug or do you think it was gas like I originally thought? Any responses from the host of the video or others on here participating, please,---I'm new to this and want all the info and personal ms experiences I can get. Thank you and God bless.

Hey! I'm sorry you've had to experience this. Constipation can disrupt daily living. I know because I have it as well. I learned from my doctor that with MS patients, the muscles in our large intestine aren't working like healthy people. What I do is rub my stomach and push stool around..you can feel it. I also drink water and coffee to help move things around. I use a Squatty Potty and that helps as well. I eat lentil soup and that also helps. I don't think you were having an MS hug, but I could be wrong. It's also important to move your body...exercise, daily chores that you're capable of doing, whatever will get your body moving. I wish you the best!! Please write if you have any more questions!

I saved this video at some point. I went through all of the precursors to get to be able to be prescribed Provigel. My neurologist reluctantly prescribed me two scripts for generic Ritalin and that came quickly with a cease and desist trying to obtain even that for my exhaustion. And that I wouldn't be able to to even receive that for such issues. . I've had MS for 17 years. I'm in constant horrible pain in both legs feet for the last 7 years. It's getting into my arms at this point.they feel like the legs initially felt going into this amount of pain. It's gradual and painful the whole way up to it. I don't know. I'm constantly tired. I've had mono before. It's like that. I drink about 11-15 cups of coffee a dAy and I sleep for half of my day in the early afternoon. Anyways. You're cool. I know someone who takes Provigel. She's absurdly rich. I am not. It's a bummer. . No insurance wants anything to do with it being prescribed in my case for my MS exhaustion. Hope you're doing well in August of 2023. I'll try for the same.

I know this video is old but I wanted to let you know that I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in December of 2022 after going to the hospital because I had back surgery due to my L4 and L5 so I had a Lumber Laminectomy done July 14th but after I still was having balance, fatigue and blurry vision issues which I thought would have been fixed when I had the Surgery but it wasn't. At the hospital I told them my symptoms so the doctor ordered lab work and did a CT scan and she transferred me to another hospital where they did MRI'S and more lab work, the Nuerologist came in and said I had lesions on my brain and it looked like Multiple Sclerosis. Well, fast forward I have had been having more issues with balance, walking and Cognitive issues so I kept researching everything and I have to let you know I was a Medical Assistant and my mother is a retired Nurse, well I heard about taking Vitamin D3 in high doses to help with Multiple Sclerosis it started with a Doctor in Brazil and it is called the Coimbra Protocol. I don't take the high doses like it was talking about because you really need to be in close care with your doctor to do that but I have been taking 5,000 IU of D3 and 600mg Calcium with 125mcg D3 and I have been seeing a big difference in my fatigue, cognition and walking so I wanted to share and also I am not on any DMT yet.

For me personally, this particular symptom is hands-down the #1 Most distressing, uncomfortable, and nefarious of symptoms (of many) that I experience w/ MS. In my personal journey with the MS hug, it's not just a singular sensation of feeling like I'm being squeezed. And most specifically, my MS hugs have evolved to the point where there's a tendency for this symptom to encompass the entire area from just below the clavicle, down to my groin area. As the 'episode' intensifies, it get's to the point where I almost feel like I'm going to explode. The best way to describe it is the sensation that my entire chest and mid section is expanding to the point of bursting. Much like what happens when you fill a balloon with too much helium. And this sounds silly, but I become instinctually driven to remove clothing in the attempts to relieve pressure. 1. The chest pain unto itself is terrifying. And I've lost count how many times the Doctors have ordered chest x-rays, EKG's/ECG's, Troponin blood tests (a blood test used to see if you've had a heart attack), CT scans, etc. It got to the point where I told them, " My EKG/ECG is going to be normal. My Troponin levels are going to be unremarkable, and If you guy's give me one more chest x-ray and ct scan I'm going to become radio active." 2. My MS hug episodes will peak. And at this peak of any given episode I'll start getting intense pinching electrical shock sensations throughout various parts of my body. They're so startling and painful that it takes my breath away. Compared to the feeling of getting the wind knocked out of you. Complete w/ dizziness, near syncope, and my leg buckling at the knee. 3. I start getting cognitively confused and unable to concentrate. 4. The epic pins and needles sensation starts creeping in and spreading. And although it's an almost constant symptom of mine with MS = During an MS Hug episode in particular, it Intensifies. Frankly, during an MS Hug episode, labeling it 'Pins and needles' puts it mildly. It's more comparable to the velocity of a torrential down pour of rain impacting the ground (or your car windshield). It stings. One day during an MS hug episode, I literally felt it creep up from the front base of my neck up to (and around) the underneath of my chin and head. Followed by numbness. Again, It's hands down the most insidious sensation I've ever had the misfortune to endure. 5. You intuitively understand that it's ravaging your body.

I was diagnosed while trying to conceive, less than a month before I conceived my first. My neurologist was optimistic and told me that pregnancy was protective for MS. I had two children three years apart, breast fed both for a year, and only got on medication after my second child weaned, so that was at least 4 years after diagnosis. I was lucky not to have any relapses after birth, but have been pretty lucky in general with my MS. (And the oral medication I take now is working for me.)
