Good Morning my ms Sisters and brothers. We or more correctly I am closing in on Post 600. Do I continue beyond this? What is your opinion, just PM me a yes or a no. I may pay attention I may not. It just depends upon the day.
I understand that not all of our family speak the Queens English as a first language so if “YOU” do not, please PM(Personal Message) me and feel free to ask for a longer explanation.. With that in mind a young lady asked about exercise I think we should talk about this. I understand that exercise to a lot of people is a dirty word. I would say make it your friend, do it learn to enjoy it. Move your body while you can. Keep joints limber muscles active. I get great enjoyment walking into the gym and staggering out after a workout. I have warned the staff and I have a bright red wrist band saying I have ms just in case something goes wrong. It also makes it a lot easier to ask for help or advice.
Working out is also good for social interaction. There are several older gentleman in my gym who always say hello and I am sure I could ask for help if I needed it. There are several younger women that have very well developed glutes (back ends) that are always willing to give advice on how to develop mine. Get your mind out of the gutter ms Sister. Glutes are an important part of the core (Your middle) and a strong middle is important to us. Get out of bed, stand up straight and “YOU” will realize how important your core is. I do not like running, nor can I do it anymore so that is easily avoided. If “YOU” can keep yourself cool, do itl. By now everyone should have gone to Amazon and bought body charts and have them on the walls around your house. “YOU” know that if “YOU” use a muscle group a lot, it will warm up. Warm blood in your Central Nervous System (CNS) causes ms difficulties, and we do not want that. Do not exercise alone, keep yourself cool. Stand under a fan, wear a cooling vest, ankle or wrist straps, a cooling scarf or if “YOU” are really trendy a cooling head scarf.
There is no need to give up everything, merely because “YOU” have ms, in some form. Think about what “YOU” want to achieve. Ways that “YOU” can approach that goal, then go for it. “YOU” and I have Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms), That is no reason for us ever to give up on our dreams, modify them YES, give up NEVER. Ignore the naysayers make a GREAT RRms life your truth.
