Frustrated and anxiousi

[Francyna]

LATELY I'VE BEEN SO OUT OF IT , I MEAN NO ENERGY WHATSOEVA!!!!' SO. WENT TO MY NEW NEURO WHO I'M SO PLEASED WITH. HE STARTED ME ON AVONEX AND AMANTADINE FOR THE FATIGUE.... SO WILL SEE HOW THAT GOES....I'VE BEEN IN A COG FOG FOR WEEKS NOW...LOOSING TREND OF THOUGHT IN A MIDDLE OF SENTENCE, IT'S JUST BEEN HORRIBLE THAT I BASICALLY DREDD WHEN I HAV'T TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING,OH I'M ALL OVER THE PLACE TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO EXPRESS WHAT I WAN T TO GET  ACROSS.

MY PAPER WORK IS PILING UP LIKE CRAZY..IT SEEMS I SET A SIDE  TIME  TO DO  JUST PAPERWORK AND THE PAPERS ARE STILL THERE HRS, EVEN DAYS LATER.... MY FOCUS IS COMPLETLY OFF ... I REALLY BELIEVE A  LACK OF CONCENTRATION IS A DIRECT SYMPTOM OF MS.
ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE MY CHEST IS SO TIGHT ALONG WITH SHORTNESS OF BREATH. THE TIGHTNESS IS IN THE CENTER OF MY CHEST AND AROUNDMTHE RIB CAGE (THE MS HUG). NEURO CHECKED FOR SARCODOSIS ( CAME. BACK NEG.)
  
SO MY PRIMARY DR. PRESCRIBED IBUTERAL FOR THE SHORTNESS OF BREATH....THAT DOESN'NT REALLY HELP YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD, SO WHAT COULD IT BE???? HENCE THAT'S WERE THE ANXIETY COMES IN.....FRUSTRATED ON FEELING POWERLESS IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS WORK, I'LL WRITE  ON THAT ANOTHER TIME...BELIEVE ME THERE IS JUST ALOT ON M PLATE RIGHT NOW...

THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL TO ME. I'M STILL LEARNING HOW TO NAVIGATE...I APPRECIATE THE SENIOR ADVISORS. YOU LADIES HAVE VALUBLE INFORMATION IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD TODAY. I THANK YOU......

Hey Francy!

I'M HOPE YOU SEE IMPROVEMENT WITH YOUR EYES.

ALOT OF TIMES WHEN EYES ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, THE BODY FOLLOWS - (BECAUSE YOU HAVE THEY  HAVE TO WORK SO MUCH HARDER TO SEE, ETC.,)

AND, IT MAKES YOU SO TIRED, EVEN FATIGUED AT THE WORSE. COMBINE THAT WITH THE FATIGUE FROM MS, AND BAM! YOUR COMPLETELY WHIPED OUT TO SAY THE LEAST.

HOPE THE AMANTIDINE WORKS, AND BE SURE TO TELL THE DOC IF THE RESCUE INHALER DOESN'T HELP YOU. MAYBE YOU'LL NEED SOMETHING THAT WORKS LONG-TERM ON INFLAMMATION (IF THAT IS WHAT IT IS) AND NOT A SHORT ACTING QUICK ONE.

THANK YOU FOR THE NICE COMPLIMENTS :) WHAT A WAY TO MAKE OUR DAY!

So did I but then i double checked if i was thinking about the right med and the common side affects had most of the things you mentioned, even chest tightness so i thought id pass it on. I'm not sure if it is making things worse for you but from the basic info i could see it apparently can, and if its not working then its something you should probably discuss with your neuro or even the primary who RXd it. I dont recall what sites i looked up but if you look at drugs.com it usually has everything about any drug you can think on, try there if you want to have a look see. :o)

Cheers..........JJ

There I go with my cog fog... I know your speaking of ibuteral:) my brain seems to insist on ibuprofen....I always thought ibuteral help with tightness in the chest.

Hi thank you for respondng, my last post was in caps becuz my eyes were bothering me, I was'nt able to make out the words as I was typing.so I may do that from time to time. Just easier on the eyes....
  I do take diclofenac 50 mg 2x daily. So there is the ibuprofen.....I will discuss with my dr. for an alternative....or maybe I don't need an antiflammatory..I keep yall posted..

Let me firstly appologise for not responding in caps, people who post in caps usually have visual issues and caps are necessary but you dont usually post in caps so i'm not sure if its been done in error or not. So i'll say sorry first and if you do need caps i'll make sure to do that next time, please let me know what you prefer. :o)

If i was you i'd be speaking to your neuro about taking IBUTERAL because the primary rxd it and its not helping. One thing i can say about IBUTERAL is that its possible that its making your sx worse, look up side affects and you'll understand why this is 'possibly' making things worse instead of better. (fatigue, chest tightness, worsening breathing, anxiety etc etc). Other than that idea i dont know what to say that will help, hopefully someone else will post something more helpful.

Hugs..........JJ
