Menopause and MS

Ruth Dobson brought research from over 3,000 people with MS and confirmed what many already knew: menopause and MS overlap in messy, exhausting ways- fatigue, sleep, bladder issues, spasticity, mood. Two-thirds of MS women going through menopausal transition reported sleep problems. The good news? Menopausal symptoms are often more treatable than MS symptoms and HRT is a real opportunity for personalised care. Long-term MS outcomes don't appear to be worse, but quality of life absolutely is. The call to action: stop separating these conversations. Treat the whole person.
