Here’s my daily morning routine. Wake up(very important) take my pups for a walk around the yard for about an hour(2 hounds and 3 acres) then I make a protein shake with a banana, naked whey protein powder, milk and sea moss! Sea moss has a lot of vitamins in it. Then light weight lifting exercise. This part is a little hard for me because I was a gym rat and was deadlifting over 400 lbs! Then I take a break and shower and relax for a bit. Then I do stuff around the house till I feel tired, have lunch and then take a nap with my pups 😊I know it’s hard to be positive every day but mindset is as important as keeping moving! Your brain needs just as much of a workout as the rest of your body!!

Weight lifting with MS

I was diagnosed before a couple of weeks with MS. Since then, I was told to stop weight lifting, as it affects negatively, because your body temperature is going high and it is better to do light cardio. I have lost like 8 kg of my weight since then. Do you have any experience with weight lifting an...

Weightlifting with MS

Hi, So I've been suffering with RRMS for the last 10 years currently on Gilenya and from the start I've always had difficultly with exercise. Anything that drives up my body temperature is just murderous. After a session with the hospital physio I may as well be confined to bed for the day. It's m...

Knee hyperextension problems

Has anyone tried the knee braces for hyperextension? My left knee keeps trying to hyperextend and makes it difficult to bend and lift my knee when walking. This coupled with foot drop and fatigue make for a fun time 😅 I use a Fes machine but my walking is getting worse even with weightlifting. I'...

Thoughts on fitness?

I was diagnosed with MS in March 2019. After my 3rd ocrevus infusion I noticed that ocrevus was in fact going to do fuck all. So i decided to take up fitness. I decided to start running around my local primary school field, To my absolute horror I resembled that of which I can only describe as li...

A POSITIVE LIFE CHANGE

I’ve been working on this for several months, but I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with the changes in my life and I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and think about what was happening with my MS and life, much less write it down. I’ve been living with RRMS since the mid-90s. I used to have exaspera...

hi everyone I have M.S and I want more than anything to cure myself. I did some things that made me feel like I did not have Multiple Scholorosis. I started using BOOST nutritional drinks as food. I did not eat any food what so ever. It was expensive but I had to try something. My mother is totally...
