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 was trying to find someone to talk to,to educate myself on retinol diet. To try and find some recipes or the different foods , I can prepare my dad. Because recently his kidneys have been bad and so they put him on the retinol diet? I'm not sure if this is the right place to look or not , but if anybody could help me your appointment direction , I'd appreciate it.

Ocrevus or Kesimpta?!

Hey 👋 So, my neurologist has told me that I need to change my DMT within the next 12 months (currently on tysabri and I am JCV positive, so I knew this was coming). I have been given the choice of Ocrevus or Kesimpta and just when I think I have made up my mind, I change my decision again 😅. I hav...

Does anyone else have trouble wearing shoes? My shoes are really light but they throw me off balance when I’m walking. I know I have excess fluid in the gray matter of the brain. I have an appointment with a new neurologist next month but with all my symptoms they said that there’s a chance I could have MS.
