Unfortunately, the reduction in anxiety levels from exercise did not include those suffering from MS.

You are right. Sorry about the misinformation. That will teach me to carefully read the FULL abstract before I start posting!!!

I LOVE exercise, but sometimes getting up to do it requires a crowbar to remove A** from couch but then when I get to the pool I'm delighted, I feel so much better when I get into a pattern..PLUS there are days where my limbs do not feel so responsive, and they are clumsy and numb, and if i get into the pool it amazes me that they follow orders there, when I get out I walk better think better, the works.
Also, the topic above re: constipation, if I swim 2-4 days in a week...great results..

I'll tell you what. It does make me feel better by 20%. When I could still run, even when I first started my downhill slide, I did it for that reason more than anything I think. Now that I'm not able to exercise as strenuously, all I can do is look forward to winter being over so I can get out and do more even at this level. The sense of well being is real as real gets for me anyway.
