Hello Ladies
I was recently diagnosed with MS in April. I have begun treatment but it was brought to my awareness that the legions could be a few years old. We all know the norms - Excerbations accompanied with facial pain... optic neuritis (coming off of a spell now ) ... limb numbness ... electric shocks down the legs it's enough to make a big girl go ... then ... Let us not forget the Summertime heat ... how do you cope? I've begun drinking plenty of water ... not overdoing it at the gym (a day you play is a day you PAY) ... and I walk early in the morning while it's still cool ... and I work out inside a gym in the evenings until the weather changes. I have noticed a pattern with what I eat. When I eat processed sweets ... pain strikes me almost immediately ... now if that doesn't stop me from slurping down a pepsi ... I don't know what will ... what are you eating? .... I will not let the MS take over ... I'm fortunate to have usage of my limbs ... and a sound mind ... so I'm determined that ... no matter what my future holds ... I will do everything I can now ... to lessen the intensity of my symptoms ... and possibly make way for a normal healthy life ... any other MS soldiers here???? .....
