Welcome! Well, my experience has been an insane amount of hot flashes/ night sweats, etc. Here lately. The scary part is I am only 28. I don't know how much of it is MS related, I was just officially Dx'd on Halloween of last year. I will tell you it has gotten worse since I started Copaxone. But I will also tell you compared to the side effects of the other options, I will stick with the Copaxone.

Steroids make the sweating and mood swings and blood sugar problems unbearable. But it is a necessary evil for some of us. I have been to the PCP, Neuro, and Gyno and they all want to blame the sweats on someone else.

The degree prescription strength anti pers. seems to be the only thing that remotely works for me. However, I cannot cover my whole body in it, so it only works part of the way.

There are a lot of herbal options available. I am looking into them myself. Wish I could be of more help.
