Summary

The goal of this observational study is to understand how MS symptoms change during different phases of the menstrual cycle in individuals who menstruate living with MS (Multiple Sclerosis). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does fatigue get worse during certain phases of the menstrual cycle? 2. How do symptoms like thinking skills, pain, and mobility change throughout the cycle? Participants will: * Use the My Normative app to track their menstrual cycle and MS symptoms. * Complete symptom check-ins at five points during their cycle for six months. * Answer questions about fatigue, thinking skills, mood, sleep, and other MS symptoms at the start and end of the study. These findings may help researchers better understand MS symptom patterns and improve symptom management.
