Has anyone here had any type of surgery and how did it affect your MS? Is there anything I should know beforehand? I'm planning to call my Neuro on Monday just to let him know and see if he has any suggestions or recommendations.
I didn't know your Pelvic was in your ear.. Sorry, couldnt resist.

I don't think the operation will bother your MS? I had a gall bladder removed and it had no adverse effect on my MS. Just make sure you start back on your LDN, when you get off of the heavy pain meds!!

LOL! I'm on a laptop now and typing on it's a bit of an adventure!

I was hoping it wouldn't make my MS worse......maybe I'll be the first person to go into complete remission after surgery!!

i have to use a desktop because when i sit down i have no lap!

when i had my neck surgery (i'm the consummate planner) i had food ready in the fridge & freezer. basically i took care of anything ahead to make things easier afterwards. my dr kept me in the hosp overnite for precautions but i would have been more comfortable in my own bed.

have a walker around in case you get up during the nite.
i didn't have any MS sx's besides fatigue with any of my surgeries.

make sure you take it really easy and rest, drink fluids.
have support people around who can help.
good luck with everything.

I'll start with the surgery. If that doesn't help I'll try skydiving. The lightning strike is a bit much........I think I'll just stick with MS.
