I see a lot of comments about exercise. When I was first diagnosed I could not walk more than 5 feet. I was in great shape prior to my 7 week hospital stay. As time went on I got stronger by doing cardio with weights (no more than 10 pounds). I have access to a treadmill and now do a walk/run on the treadmill and it's actually my "pain medication of choice!" I do skip a day every 3 or 4 weeks to let my body recover and replenish. I also really watch my diet avoiding fats and salt which isn't good for you anyway. Id happily help any of my MS Sisters & Brothers with fitness. It gets into your mind and keeps the stress down. I work out first thing in the morning after I eat a high source of protein such as an egg or cottage cheese with fruit. After my workout I eat a serving of oatmeal with chia seeds and fruit. The chia seeds have a high source of protein and fiber which keeps you regular. Gimme a shout out!

I have a question

How many of you uses leg braces or any mode for walking properly? Leg braces are useful or will it be waste of money?

Tai Chi thoughts and ideas please.

I have been wondering if Tai Chi might be a suitable exercise for me? My mobility is okish, although walking is not great at all, due to weakness in my left leg. Due to living in a very rural area, attending classes is unfortunately not possible. Could anyone please share their experiences of Tai C...
