@Just signed up here. I was diagnosed last fall and started on Tysabri in Dec. So far it’s been really good. My symptoms have gotten better (which no one promised me). Lately, some things have gotten worse. Life has been stressful recently and I know that can cause relapses. I’m curious how everyone managed their stress level. on Shift.ms

I try to live in the moment, I try to take time for me which I have never done its always been for my family which im not complaining. Meditation, boxed breathing, puzzles, painting, art in general if you like art. I have a bunch of plants so I like taking care of them. Sometimes going somewhere taking a drive, a distraction with awesome fun music to get your blood pumping. That how I do it and when none of that works I take a nap.

Stress has brought on attacks several times through the years. Just have to avoid it. Don’t stress over having MS your past that now, these are the cards you’ve been dealt. Just keep thinking about the person that has ALS or stage 5 cancer. Now think how blessed you are. It’s all in your perspective. I’ve had MS for 30 yrs, I’m 77 and I’m still here loving life.
