I'm 49 and was just dx with CIS/RRMS last summer after my first MS event of numbness on the right side of my face, hand and leg/foot. Finally started Copaxone just over a month ago.
I have two kids, a son 28 who as far as I'm aware has no possible MS symptoms. My daughter, 18, is a different story. I'm going with her to a neuro appointment next Wednesday and I'm afraid for her. Her pediatrician referred her before she would prescribe any more medications for her migraines.
My daughter has been getting migraines since 8th grade. They typically come on when she doesn't get enough sleep/isn't eating regularly or is under alot of stress, whether good or bad. We've ended up in the ER with her three times already over the years where she's had to have IV meds for her migraine and was treated and released within a few hours. Just this spring she had a severe bout of Mono from which she is still experiencing fatigue off and on though it's been almost three months since she had the Mono.
She thinks her doctor referred her to the neuro because of her migraines. I'm wondering if these symptoms, combined with the fact of my own diagnosis don't put her at higher risk for MS. Thoughts? What should we ask the neurologist?
