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!🫶🏿❤️

Hello everyone,how long do “bad days” or pseudo-relapses usually last? I’ve been having symptoms for about 3 days now. They are symptoms I’ve had before, and they remain unchanged. In the evenings before sleep and in the mornings they feel better, but they tend to get stronger throughout the day. There don’t seem to be any obvious triggers like heat, etc.
