Massage

Wondering if anyone can tell me if it’s ok to get a massage with MS? Maybe it’s a silly question, but just thinking about MS being related to damage to the layer around the spinal cord and wondering if massage could be a bad idea?

Any MS diets?

Does anyone follow/recommend any sort of special anti-inflammatory diet for those with MS? I'm pretty healthy don't drink, don't smoke and practice very low impact yoga. I just wondered if anyone on here swears by a specific diet. Thank you x #diet #workandplay #nystagmus #tremor #yoga

Stress = symptoms ?

I’m new to the MS journey and working out my relapses and symptoms. But does anyone else find that when you are really stressed your symptoms seem start? Or is that just me? This MS journey and understanding my body will take some time I guess.
