I have MS symptoms. But not the brain lesions so far (two scans). No other illness fits my symptoms so I am treating it as MS. No decent remedy exists so ultimately no biggie.
My latest symptom is a hyper-sensitive gag reflex. Eating. I have to eat slowly and carefully to avoid vomiting. 6 months now, and I am down to around once a week of actually spewing. But pretty much any time I eat happily and enthusiastically I will chuck.
One of the worst things are pills. They hit some spot in my throat. I am not taking my medication much, which is primarily antidepressants (non-MS) and vitamin D (very important for MS).
End result, I am more depressed, more MS, and food is a struggle. I still adore and love and want food. I just can’t be bothered, too hard basket.
I eat. Think half a burger so slowly that it ends up cold. Only meal of the day.
And weight loss has been minimal – lately one kilo per week, because of all the empty wine calories I am adding in. My food calories could be 500/week.
It will resolve. Specialist says it is stress based. I have things I can strive to fix. Just weird, for me. This isn’t a cry for help – I’m just calling out an odd annoyance.
