"Make the Effort, to get you moving more."....

Yep, that was what my Uncle said to me a couple off days ago, my response was as follows.... You know how much effort it takes me to Defecate aka have a Shit?.... Quite a lot sometimes actually, some times I have the urge to go but nothing happens. Now travelling all that way from the sofa to the Commode, sitting their trying to Poop because you have the urge to yet, nothing happens. Now, that's effort, and then some.

@PeterFrancis isn't constipation another common trait with MS but when brought it up told to drink more but take a senna at night that sometimes helps. Start with more water I think and good luck Peter🤞

@Luce6661111 Yeah Constipation happens some of the time, or at least it used to but now I keep hydrated and I have Docusate tablets to help keep me regular. I still have some Senna, used to take when first dx, more than likely out of date now, wasn't a fan of the taste of them, very bitter even with lots of water.
