2. MS Symptoms

Fatigue

The fatigue lately has been on another level. Not tired-tired, like the kind where you sleep and wake up more exhausted than before. I canceled plans again this week and the guilt on top of the exhaustion is its own thing.

Brain fog is real. I forgot the word for "spoon" yesterday. A spoon.

That happens to me as well. Sometimes I’m looking at whatever it is I’m trying to say and I still don’t get it right.

Sleep

Spasticity at night is wrecking my sleep lately. Tried magnesium, stretching, nothing sticking. What's actually worked for you?

Warm bath or shower right before bed was a game changer. Not hot but warm enough to relax the muscles. I also switched to a weighted blanket and honestly didn't expect much but it made a noticeable difference.

foot drop

Hey everyone - my biggest symptom is foot drop. It's been really affecting my day-to-day mobility.


I've been looking into the Cadense shoes in the community shop and honestly… I think I may have to pull the trigger. The whole adaptive closure system sounds like it could make a real difference.


Has anyone tried them?

Yes! I tried them and honestly so glad I did. Still use other shoes but when I need extra support, the Cadense shoes cover a lot of situations where I used to really struggle.
