I should preface this by saying my MS symptoms are relatively speaking minor - but, as the saying goes, everything's relative. I'm starting to notice a pattern. When ever a symptom gets worse, I tend to worry about it continually. This happens even though, thus far, I've been able to limit/control many of my symptoms through PT, they often improve over time. Kind of a dog with bone thing. Does anyone else do this?

Same, relatively mild for years with some lingering symptoms following flares.
For me, I think it's the fear that my MS is progressing. Over the last few years, I have become better at managing this, and with it, I tend to not think as obsessively about the new symptom and then discuss with neuro.
Ironic that I am getting better at that as I have started to progress some. I guess I should count my blessings, otherwise, I might be torturing my neuro' s office.Kathy

I was dx 3 years ago. I have also learned to limit this kind of thinking. I just stay really busy.
I congratulate myself daily on managing a symptom. I find that if I reinforce how I work through a difficult symptom it kind of leaves my mind.

The Y, my critters, housework and my family keep me busy, but not busy enough to not think about my fading eyesight, buzzing foot, fatigue, etc. I am amazed that anyone on here gets through the day here without a scare or two, but to all who are not slaves of worrying!Tawanda
