Comment on MS Balance Problems: Why Multiple Sclerosis Causes Balance Issues by Cathy

In reply to Deb.

Thanks for reaching out. Hot and cold flushes can definitely happen with MS – they’re often related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which MS can affect. That said, if you’re in the menopause age range, hormonal changes could be contributing too, and sometimes both factors can be at play together.

I’d really encourage you to discuss this with your neurologist and potentially your gynecologist to get a clearer picture of what’s going on. They can help determine whether it’s MS-related, hormonal, or a combination, and guide you toward the right management approach.

In the meantime, staying cool (cooling vests, fans, cold drinks) and avoiding triggers like stress and overheating can help with MS-related temperature sensitivity. Wishing you answers and relief soon!

I need help!! My central nervous system is haywire! I get hot and cold flushes. Is this a part of MS? My hormones are shut down where menopause is concerned.

In reply to jose stockdale. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. I’m really glad the tips felt helpful. And I completely agree—Spoon Theory can be hard to explain, especially around the holidays. I hope this season feels a little gentler for you. 💛

Well written article for those who suffer from the anguish of quick burnout! Just plain explanation of MS fatigue in how to treat it during the Christmas season. I plan to incorporate some of these tips this year. The. Spoon Theory works but explaining to guests you have used all your allotted spoons for the day when they have just arrived wasn’t easy or working for me! Tx Cindy. Jose
