This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

looks familiar 'please don't go trawling through that pesky years-long backlog of assertions followed by unanswered questions across multiple topic re-starts and across multiple web sites'

another bump

hi if you use the forum search to locate posts mentioning the ukraine, you will find some relevant content. mostly em inglês, mind you - not sure you'll find much in portuguese!

ups and downs for sure. i was a train wreck at dx and figured ok it took me 15 years to get into this mess, could take another 15 years to dig back out. i'm 13 years into that chunk now. after the ups and downs of the learning curve, i got maybe overconfident. overdid work, slacked off on self care ...

heya, i'm on academic stuff atm but can't afford to be out of work much longer. walking yes but a bit worse off overall after the adventures of 2018!!

i don't know mine, but i was thinking well rounded profiles detailing not just edss but also individuals' various efforts made healthwise to date, would also help provide a clearer picture. then i wondered whether science had already asked that question: Lifestyle-based modifiable risk factors in mu...

that you are not, z. if i hadn't made the major changes i did after dx and fixated on health to the extent i did, i have a pretty good idea what kind of crap state i could be in by now :S

Restoring function in progressive multiple sclerosis (2019)
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lane ... 1/fulltext

it's a brief comment article so no abstract per se. interesting though

that reminds me - since dx i've had chronic (decade +) neck pain corrected by a helpful physiotherapist. the work involved loosening up the vertebra in the upper mid spine. i had to learn how to strengthen neck muscles (essentially via 'neck sit-ups') and improve posture. these days i barely lean in...
