Health

Just a random question. Does anybody suffer from paper-thin skin that even with the slightest touch seems to peel away? I don't know if this is Multiple Sclerosis related or not. However, it's problematic. My legs have a lot of scarring all over them.

What ice cold 🧊 treat should be eaten during this hot weather? I have a sweet tooth but at the same time I'm looking for healthy treats with natural sweetness.

I don't want to trigger a type 2 diabetes side effect. Google says: High sugar consumption 🍦🥤🧋🧃🧉can worsen multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms and accelerate disease progression. Diets high in refined sugars promote systemic inflammation, trigger severe energy crashes that exacerbate MS-related fa...

Anyone use a Smart Ring to track their health

With the weather being so hot here in Texas, I have been looking into smart rings to track fatigue and stress levels from having to be outside. Does anyone here use one and if so which one do you use. I would prefer a free app option.

True story really. I am going to stay with my oldest son, here home my other son is overwhelmed, he doesn’t feel comfortable being too far from me🥹 his other siblings have minimized what he seeing maximally! We talk and I do understand his feelings, they are valid! So I’m me meeting my 2 granddaughters who are both under 4 so I am excited yet I have zero income😫 my flight and thing were gifted to me. I’m am grateful for that. I wanted to get to meet my granddaughters before anything else happens. I have hired counsel to assist me in obtaining Disability, I apply a few times and was denied. I can’t even afford my medication. Not looking for sympathy, I guess, just wanted to be more clear, I ABSOLUTELY hate MS and what it’s done to my confidence, yeah I don’t trust myself,& I before this all I was actually looking forward to turning 50! Yeah made it to 50 but I don’t like how I feel and how unsure I am now about the things I was MOST confident about doing, not so much these days and it makes me ANGRY cuz I didn’t plan this nor have the resources to live with this confidently. Praying for a steady body to keep doing what it HAS been doing for 49 years!! Health care is NOT caring these days and I can only say, timing has been my lack for some time now. I digress have a awesome MS’n day everyone. 💜🫶🏾🤟🏾💪🏾🤞🏾✌🏾

MS and Gut Health

Hello all, A couple years ago, I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis. Basically my immune system decided to attack it and my large intestine and colon now have too much collagen, resulting in some uncomfortable and difficult to manage symptoms. Does anyone else have CC or another form of colitis?...

MS & health Watches ⌚📈🚶

How do you feel about them? I have been using a Xiaomi Smart Band 9 and I found it definitely helped my sleep and movement routines. Do you use such a device and if not what makes you critical? I didn't look too much into the down sides and am considering getting a better one now... any though...
