This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks, I never even thought about looking for a book specifically for yoga and MS. And now I think I will try the local yoga places and see what they offer.

Has anyone here tried yoga? I'm thinking the stretching and exercise would be good but not sure how much I would actually be able to do. Considering: -no balance -forget standing on 1 foot -forget standing, except for short duration -very weak legs (& hand, & arms, etc) You know, all the usu...

I once went from taking 60mg per day to zero. This was before I heard about any problems with stopping quick. It was terrible, couldn't figure out how I got so bad so fast. Until I realized it was related to stopping the Baclofen suddenly. Stop slowly, maybe by 10 mg at a time and staying several da...

The aversion to the injection is purely psychological. It really isn't that bad, and a good Urologist will teach you how to do it. The advantage is that it is GUARANTEED to work within 15 minutes.

I recently rented, wanted to try it before I bought it, a Pride Go-Go Scooter. It's what they call "transportable". That is, it seperates into 5 pieces that fit into the trunk of a car. The Ultra model will go 10 miles per charge while the newer Elite goes 15 miles per charge with the opti...

davwhi, Thanks for this post. The images we often see on websites are those with severe ms - either slumped in a wheelchair or bedridden. The EDSS gives one the impression that you just work through the scale until number 10 when you meet your maker. It's good to hear that it doesn't always have to...

80% end up in a wheelchair? Bullsh...., I mean balogna. I was first diagnosed 24 years ago and have only just started using a cane. I know 3 other people with MS and none of them are in wheelchairs either. Some doctors seem to be more scaremongers than supporters. My very first neurologist was like ...
