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!

How do you divide your spoons?

If you're unfamiliar with the spoon analogy I guess how do you divide your energy? What life areas or activities do you prioritise on low energy days? Or how do you decide on a given low energy day what to cut?

How long have you lived with MS undiagnosed?

I was recently diagnosed with MS this year November. Like many I didn’t really know much about it but knew of MS from an episode of Neighbours. Whilst looking at the symptoms of MS I realised that I’ve actually had many of the symptoms. Ultimately my worst symptoms (balance issues, double vision) la...
