Hi all I'm Nae from Australia Recently diagnosed and very overwhelmed Wondering if others have massive issues going to places like shopping centres?? Feeling very much like a hermit
Hi Nae. Sorry about your overwhelmed statrme. I remember when I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Have you started taking any medication?
Hi I've joined one group but most of the members are from the UK If you could tell me the name of the group that would be great
Not yet I take stemetical and Diaz prn which helps a little bit but nothing else yet My gp is talking about antihistamines and physio
I love the name of the AU MD group! Someone was creative! @Nae, the traditional treatment for MD is a diuretic such as diazide or diamox along w/ intermittent corticosteroids to help control symptoms flares. Diamox made me feel awful so I have taken diazide (Triamterene) 2x/day for 8 yrs, & I keep 10 mg Prednisone tablets on hand to take when my symptoms flare up. I take up to 60 mg of Prednisone at a time if symptoms are bad enough. It can stake a couple of days for the Prednisone to reduce the symptoms.
Hello Nae. In the past the lights in shopping centers triggered me, but somehow that has ended. Try antihistamines. They have helped me sometimes. Good luck with this.
