Some people also get a tattoo or use an app for the same purpose, though these may not referenced as often by health providers.

Vaginal tissues have a thin layer of protective, lubricating fluid and are highly susceptible to hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, which are responsible for blood flow to the vagina.

Of course, non-pharmacologic strategies are suggested as the initial step for treating MS fatigue, such as daily exercise, sleep regulation, and energy conservation techniques. However, sometimes, medication is needed for optimal relief. It is important to note, however, there are currently no United States FDA-approved medications for treating fatigue in MS. Therefore, the medications listed below are all used “off-label” for the management of MS fatigue. With the exception of Symmetrel (see below), the research backing up the usefulness of these medications is very poor, meaning there are few studies done and little benefit (if any) has been found....

In the usual version of this tragedy, the young mother perishes at 35, leaving her kids to beg or steal. But Mavuka’s story doesn’t end that way.
