Cold

Hey everyone, I’ve had a really bad MS week, my worst in a good while and whilst I know the ‘why’ isn’t important, it can help a bit.

Those on Tysabri, how has it affected your immune system? I’ve got a 3 year old, so colds ect are more prevelant for me.

It's been so hard these past couple weeks, last week I was moving something lift it and my back snapped. Its getting better now thank God. Then the heat, I though I was ok because after been diagnosed last winter I realized I had cold sensitivity so I was hoping the summer wouldn't be a problem. Now the heat is here and I'm STRUGGLING. I feel heavy, like I'm walking through wet cement or sand. They say exercise helps with fatigue and we need the sun for vitamin D. I'm so tired...I feel like just crying, I really dont know what to do to help with these feeling. This disease sucks real bad, I'm so tired. What are some things you guys do to help with the fatigue.
