Looking up some things in the forum here has brought some questions to mind...(I am not officially diagnosed, waiting to get in to see neuro's with experience and expertise, ophthalmologist has said yes, mg, tho.)

Progesterone--Saw one that said progesterone makes mg worse. Trying to remember back to my daughter's pregnancy, which was the pregnancy from hell, and no one could figure out what was wrong. Very early in the pregnancy they had me using a hormone-supplement to make sure levels were enough to maintain the pregnancy. Would this have been progesterone? Had to use it for the first three months. It was a creme.

Caffeine--am I reading it right that caffeine will help alleviate symptoms a bit? Could this be why diet pepsi (pepsi one) seems to help me feel better, not just the waking up my foggy head, just all-over better and I'm feeling like drinking more and more of it?

Breathing--I get short of breath over everything and nothing. Especially getting worse when talking, especially if I am standing when talking, and walking when talking. Lately I am having to heave a big breathe between sentences and sometimes in the middle of sentences. This is just the way it has been for quite a while, tho getting worse lately. Saw the post about the breathing test--you breathe in, then count out loud as letting it out, right? I feel stress at 10-12 and mostly just make it to 14-18, which if I read it right, means I am in big trouble, but again, this is just the way I am and have been.

Can anyone tell me anything further on these questions? It will be June before I can get in to the neuro. Looking for as much info as I can figure out on my own until then, but eye problems have pretty much eliminated my ability to read, other than lightly skimming for info, or real reading of a few minutes at a time, then I get a migraine sometimes for the rest of the day from the strain, my eyes are misbehaving so badly. (I used to type for a living, so writing long-winded stuff like this is easy, reading it back, not so good anymore...)
