Hello there!

[Redhawk]

Hi. My name is Bob. I was diagnosed in 2003. I am getting so much from all of your post. I really am interested in exercise and diet. What works and what doesn’t. I believe we are here to help and support each other. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome home, Bob! I’m glad you found us and have already found information and support. No one understands better what it’s like to deal with MS than those of us with MS.

You may see posts directly related to diet and exercise (or any subject) by using the “Search My MSAA Community” box in the upper right hand corner of the page.

Thanks for letting me know. I will check it out.

For me I have been doing tia chi and the exercises from a Facebook group called the MS gym. Both are helpful for me and the MSAA recommended both.

[Redhawk in reply to rjoneslaw]

Tai chi is something I want to look into. I love yoga and have had benefits from it. Thanks

Bob, a very warm welcome to the greatest MSer Warrior Family on the web, we're so glad you joined the family & as Greaterexperience said, Welcome Home!👍 I'd advise no Gluten or wheat or any Dairy (Cow), I eat only fruits, veggies & All Natural, raised on Grass only Lamb, Buffalo, & Cage free eggs, & Free Range, organic Chix & Turkey, if I want my meat protein.. Now, none of us are Doc's here, but many of us have come out of the medical field.😀 Cannot wait to get to know you better too, & Remember Always, we're here for you, cuz now you're family too!👍👋 Blessings🙏---Jazzy🌹💜

Welcome to the group. You've come to the right place for advice, a place to vent, understanding, and find some great humor.

A good blog for MS and exercise is Dave Bexfields ActiveMSers.com, and I think the Wahl Protocol has something to add see Terry Wahls Ted talk.

[Redhawk in reply to Memc]

I will check it out, thanks

[Redspot in reply to Memc]

Thx...yes I have looked st Terry Walls

A little too extreme for me.

How goes it for you?

[Memc in reply to Redspot]

It is extreme however I tried to lose weight all my life. I did Dr Wahls protocol because of hopes it would help my MS. It maybe helped with fatigue. The weightloss was incidental over a year.

Hi Bob! I think you will love it here - so many smart and kind people reside here. What was your DX (MS type) and what DMT have you found that works for you? I was DXED with PPMS and started on Ocrevus this past June, which has worked wonderfully - for me. For diet - Fruits, veggies and I avoid bread/carbs as much as I can. But I do still eat all dairy (must have all things cow). Look forward to getting to know and help you!

[Redhawk in reply to Juliew19673]

Thanks for your kind welcome. I have a progressive MS. Drop foot on my right side. I am on Plegrity and gabapentin. It been 15 years and I do PT, yoga,and diet. I have been staying away from glutens as much as I can. Trying a more organic and fresh local grown foods as the seasons allow. It’s great hearing what others are doing.

We are in Michigan in spring and summer and I do PT exercises and peddling on a floor peddler. (Boring) the rest of the year we spend at our co do in Fla. I walk and exercise in the pool 45 every day and love it. ( not boring) I was diagnosed 7 years ago and had been very active before that. I have primary progressive MS and can not walk without my walker, but in the water I can walk and move without any problems

[Redhawk in reply to DIsneyQueen]

Thanks that helps

[BigMar7]

Welcome Redhawks! I train with a trainer once a week and try to eat healthy but it doesn’t always work.

[Redhawk in reply to BigMar7]

I hear you.

[Mymarcus2010]

Hi Bob! Welcome to this community of Fighters! Im on Tysabri...just started 2 months ago. Im in my 40's so trying everything I can to stay healthy for the long haul! I eat for my blood type"O" ..very similar to Wahls diet actually. Grass fed beef, organic everything, and no dairy! Gave up coffee...this was not easy but had too. My nervous system couldn't take the caffeine anymore. The diet keeps the inflammation down in my body. I take D3(2,00units), Colastrum, magnesium. Also Milk thistle, for my liver and whatever else that can help. (CBD oil)

Im on a nerve pain med that I just started taking...this past year was awful, never thought MS could do this to me! So I Fight! Meditation is good & prayer...I have a wonderful support of family and friends who are willing to take me to infusion appt and care for me. Surround yourself with people who truly care, love you and are willing to understand and go the distance! Know that this community will be here for you!

Peace & smiles

[Redhawk in reply to Mymarcus2010]

I hope you make out good on your treatment. I have been looking at CBd too. I wonder if there are others here who will share their experiences.
