Weight Loss

Hey everyone! I’ve been trying work on losing weight while managing MS, and it’s definitely been a challenge with the fatigue and other symptoms. I wanted to ask — has anyone here had success with weight loss? What helped you most, and what struggles did you face along the way?

I was diagnosised with MS in 1986. Have OA with DDD, also. Have had major back surgery. I am mobile but very limited to what I can do, so I’m not very active and have gained a lot of weight. My question is: can a person with MS take a weight loss shot?

Weight Loss

I’ve been thinking of going on a weight loss injection. Is anyone on one? Has it affected your MS symptoms? Some friends and fam are saying don’t do it because I don’t know how it will effect me. Others are saying do it.
