Any advice/thoughts on weight and fitness

I am finding that as my mobility is not so good due to lead legs and fatigue my weight is creeping up, as my fitness is sliding down. Prior to MS I would usually put on 1/2 a stone in the winter and then lose it all in the spring. Unfortunately I now find it difficult to shed those gained pounds. I...

Had a horrible day. Worst in years. Everything went wrong. I sat here and cried for 3hrs. Nobody to speak to. Im trying. To do my best. My knee has been acting up and someone was supposed too be here at 10AM today and never showed. My power wheelchair got picked up today at 12 to get fixed but the loaner chair they gave me doesn't properly work so im trying to get a different loaner chair that works properly. Then we got our bank account scammed. We were able to close the 2 accounts and open new ones and changed personal info so they can't take the money out. . I was put on a new ms medicine infusion. My day went to crap. I hate this day. Please help me with my day. Need a friend. To talk to. No scammers please. Just good and honest people. Take care and please be safe.

"MS is a condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering around nerves in your brain and spinal cord. That makes signals slower or interrupted, which is why you get symptoms like numbness, weakness, vision changes, fatigue."

For the last 30 I have learned to deal with a large variety of MS symptoms/ side effects. The newest one is tremors (mostly in my arms).😒 I take medication which helps the internal felling, but doesn't eliminate the grand tremors in my arms. Has anyone else dealt with tremors? All thoughts are welcome. Thanks.😏

New to Shift MS! West Yorkshire, UK

Hello! I’m new to the app. My MS nurse suggested it as I’d said I could just really do with knowing a few people who understand. I have a lovely Instagram community but they’re all over the world and it would be bloody lovely to have a brew with someone local to Bradford/Leeds in West Yorkshire?

Superman From Temu: Weekend Edition 🦸‍♂️

Woke up today and it’s a completely different story — Body Battery 74. But the hounds can stay the fuck in the kennel. It’s the weekend, and today that energy belongs to my family. I’m going to watch my 14-year-old son kick arse at rugby, then carry my toddler around—bad leg and all. Because, lad...

What ice cold 🧊 treat should be eaten during this hot weather? I have a sweet tooth but at the same time I'm looking for healthy treats with natural sweetness.

I don't want to trigger a type 2 diabetes side effect. Google says: High sugar consumption 🍦🥤🧋🧃🧉can worsen multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms and accelerate disease progression. Diets high in refined sugars promote systemic inflammation, trigger severe energy crashes that exacerbate MS-related fa...
