From sneezing fits to itchy eyes and fatigue, allergies can add an unexpected layer of challenge. But don’t worry. Let’s explore how you can navigate them.
Both MS and allergies involve the immune system going off-script. Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to everyday substances like pollen or pet dander. MS, on the other hand, happens when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own nerves. While there isn’t a definitive link between MS and allergies, some studies hint at a possible connection due to the immune system being in a constant state of high alert.
If you’re dealing with both, the good news is there are ways to manage. Start by tracking your symptoms and identifying triggers. Speak to your healthcare providers to find safe allergy treatments with your MS plan. Small steps like using air purifiers, avoiding known allergens, and tweaking your diet can also make a noticeable difference. And never underestimate the power of staying positive and leaning on your support network.
Managing MS and allergies together may not be simple, but with the right tools and mindset, you can take control of your health journey.
