A dose of good news

We all face so much fear and have been on the receiving end of some of the worst news. So I wanted to share that it’s been 3 months since my first Ocrevus infusions and I have moments of almost feeling normal. You know: like the old me. Maybe I’m adjusting to my new diagnosis (just 4 months) or mayb...

MS who?

Completed a biathlon yesterday (2 miles kayak, 12 miles bike). There were 83 participants (men and women of all ages). I’ve done a couple triathlons in previous years, so I thought “this could be easy”. Wrong!! The worst part was the bike. Leg fatigue. However - I finished and took 6th place among a...

Before I got diagnosed with this illness I used to jog walk as morning exercise now I can barely walk it's really frustrating that I can't do the things I once did before it causes me to get in my emotions where I cry this is so hard 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.
