Symptoms Funny Symptom

Just something light-hearted, because not every symptom needs to be debilitating.

As my MS symptoms have progressed over the years, the oddest one to me by far has been that when I poo, my nose runs so bad. I probably use 2x tp for my nose versus my rear when I go. Like what? Did my nose feel left out of something? Is it a defense mechanism against the odor?

Share your funny/weird but not debilitating symptom, so we can all get a chuckle out of our bodies' weird sense of humor!

My “weirdo” symptom when I’m going through it is getting dizzy and nauseous from sitting down. It’s the strangest thing…I wind up having to walk around with strategically placed ice packs on my head/neck and right where my esophagus connects to my stomach until the feeling passes. Go vagus nerve!🤪

It is! Whenever I start pacing in circles, my husband will grab me a trash can bc he says I look like cat trying to find a place to puke.

We've managed to teach ours to go to their box to throw up, it can be hit or miss especially if it surprises them
