@walkintothesun , diet is an interesting subject. There are some members who have fairly rigid diets, who have good results, and others that just believe in a healthy, balanced diet. But, with MS, everybody is different. What works for one may not work for another! The best way forward is to use a food diary. Record what you eat, then if you feel worse one day, you can look back to see what you've eaten that may have caused it. As far as exercising is concerned, we do have a battle with fatigue. This isn't just getting tired. It's like an immediate depletion of energy levels. So, we have to be aware of that issue. Moderation is key, so push yourself by all means, but do it gently and gradually. You may also find that an increase in body temperature may now be "unwelcome" and cause problems. Something else to consider when going for the burn! Swimming is good exercise. It doesn't put too much strain on the body. And, it manages your body temperature. :wink:

I have found that diet has been very important to me. I started a gluten free vegan diet and I improved so much, I have recently slacked off it a bit as being on holiday and all the temptations there are I eneded up scoffing bread and ice cream! I am still vegetarian though. I have further tests and a meeting about what treatment to take next week, but one things for certain is I am getting back on my diet as the fatigue and aching is all coming back!
