That turned out to be fun! Anyone tried Frame Running?

I found out about an MS research project, that is looking at the benefits of Frame Running for people with MS, in East Lothian near to Edinburgh. Not being a sporty type, I had serious concerns about how I was going to even get on the frame - it looks like a tricycle but doesn’t have pedals- but I ...

Any runners out there?

Hi all, I haven’t been able to run for six years as I had a really bad post-birth relapse. I really want to do it as I’m able to cycle and do other exercise. I’ve started Couch to 5k but really can’t run longer than 3 minutes without getting foot drop and balance issues. Any other runners with MS ou...

Running with MS

Hi all, despite a slow return of my immune system, I’ve recovered really well from my Lemtrada in June. I started running in mid August with a couch to 5k, and since then I have done two 10k races and am training for a half marathon. It’s not always easy with some of my symptoms, but given that I co...

I recovered pretty fast and I wasn’t having many problems with my walk after. recently I started running but it feels very very weird like my right leg it’s not part of my body. Did anyone experienced this an...

We have two places left in the Big Half which takes place on 4th September. If you're interest...

Running causing flare-up….

Are there any regular runners on here? I wonder, have you ever come to the conclusion that the rise in your body temperature that results from this exercise is responsible for an imminent flare-up of symptoms? This morning I felt like every stride was the same as going down a step, only to feel like...

I haven't really had a flare up for 15 years (I'm now 45). I would love to know if anyone else has been in this position and did it remain benign ? I realise I am very lucky, but wish I knew a bit more about the future.

Running before I can walk! 🙄

Definitely had a blip today and due to my tremor, I spilt all my drink on the floor! I was being overly confident attempting to hold both glasses in my hands. I guess I need to remember I’m not as strong as I once was. Rushing for NO reason!!

AFO/brace for foot drop - running

Hello, has anyone who suffers with foot drop found an AFO that helps you to run. I have one of those which clips into the laces of my shoe and it is great for gentle walking. But running is not possible with it. I've looked at some online but they cost a fortune so it's a lot of money to waste if t...
