I just want to share my thoughts on ms.i have been told by many professionals that ms is treatable but not curable so I got my mindset not to worry about things but think about the future and I have I know the worst thing is to dwell on the final outcome and just keep going the best you can and embrace it.i know that I will end up bedridden or in a wheelchair so my advice is to stay strong and keep going until you find that you can not until then be positive and strong

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'm living with MS and don't have a strong family support system. I feel alone in this fight. The thing that keeps me fighting & pushing through everyday is my 2 grown young men/ children & my 1 and only grandson who just turned 3 yrs. old on today. That's one of the reasons I joined this MS group so I can connect with people just like me & that can really understand what my body going through. Also, I've learned so much more about this debilitating disease from you all & I hope I helped you all & motivated and encouraged you like you all have done for me, so thank you all!🫶🏿❤️
