My piece on MS & menopause:
MS = Menopause Silence
Because for too long, the impact of menopause on women with MS has been ignored & understudied.
Isn’t it time to change ‘the change’?
A huge thx you to the 25 women with MS who shared their experiences. https://t.co/0wtF37D9I6 pic.twitter.com/J54QTYQAuU

my comments:

Excellent Topic. I’m ready to add more to the List of MS Symptoms that Overlap. When I worked on Neurology floor in the 1980’s, our older female MS patients were often Wheelchair Dependent, in continent, intermittently catheterized or had a catheter. Menopause never came up in the care plan. DMT’s not invented yet. A Total Health Assessment evaluating Body/Mind Health, Nutrition, Supplements, Physical ability, routine, strength. Vitamin D also important-sunshine and daily pills. I always mention Gadolinium Contrast sometimes used in MRI. Side effects I blame on Gad is denied by my many Specialist Doctors. MG
