On hold.. - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Ok, Well my search to find answers ( weither MS or a pinched nerve or whatever ) Is on hold as I am now 14 weeks pregnant. I have to say I feel great all of my symptoms except for some shoulder/neck stiffness have disappeared. Hopefully it will stay that way. I haven't felt this good in at least 2 1/2 years. Must be all the extra vitamins. Just updating since I last posted in October about medical starting and trying to get the records and tests.

just wanted to thank you for all the support and maybe just maybe it was all in my head and I will be fine now.

Thanks

Congratulations. Keep in mind that with MS (if you have it), pregnancy can make MS symptoms disappear during pregnancy due to natural hormones produced during pregnancy.

Still, congratulations and I pray your pregnancy goes well and you have a healthy baby.

From what I've read on this board its possible that its the pregnancy that is making you feel so well. Who cares what the cause is as long as your feeling good!

I have heard that as well recently.. But for ALL my symptoms to disappear, Is that possible?.. So far the baby is very healthy and expected in May. The only thing I can do is wait and see. Maybe I will get lucky and nothing will return after the pregnancy ( one can hope). "IF" it is MS and I have a relapse then at least I have really good insurance now. Through my husbands employer with very little co-pay.

Thank you for the wishes toward the pregnancy. hope all is well with you all too

p.s. maybe I should just stay pregnant till I am 60. If I feel this good lol

Congrats on the baby news. I know when i was preg with my two girls. I felt wonderful. I was lucky enough to breastfeed too. Listen to your body though.. when yr tired rest rest rest...
Its normally after the birth when yr hormones fluctuate is when MS can play havoc.

Good luck hon.
