Happy Saturday. I forgot that I have MS & overdid it. May have brought on a mini-exaserbation. I couple of days of rest, I back at it, just going slower & staying cool & hydrated. Enjoy your day, Ray
Hello Dr. “YOU”
Happy rainy Monday: The more that I learn about MS, the more I realize that I have to try different things to help my MS. You always want to keep your healthcare team informed & follow their recommendations, however speak to as many fellow MSers as you can & try to figure out what works […]
Thank you MS!
Happy Friday, It may seem strange, but MS is not all bad. Because of MS: -I have adopted a healthy diet -Exercise more than ever -Am stronger willed than ever, and am a much happier person with a positive outlook -Have met some of the most incredible people who I never would have met So […]
Just do it!
Happy Sunday, Sixty miles on Minuteman Bike MS ride! It may not seem like much to a healthy person, but for someone with MS, it’s major! Never tell someone with MS that they can’t do something, because WE WILL! These Bike MS events have motivated me to apply for grants to get Ti-trikes to help […]
Riding the Minuteman BikeMS ride tomorrow!
Happy Friday, Sixty miles, chance of rain 50%, high temp of 70. Hope it doesn’t rain. Riding 60 miles on my Ti-trike recumbent cycle!!! The next ride is in Maine in August. Enjoy your day, Ray
Riding a recumbent trike with MS!
Happy Saturday, I got a recumbent trike to ride in Bike MS events. After not being on a bicycle in over 6 year because of bad balance, I am able to ride again. Talk about exhilarating! OMG! The feeling of freedom is beyond words. So many people with MS say,”I can’t ride.” With a power […]
Before all else, you got to get in the “right mindset”
Happy Friday, What that mindset, is unique for you. You just must get to the point that you accept that you have MS & it’s not going away, but neither is your life so you need to figure out how to make yourself feel better & enjoy your life. Enjoy the day, Ray
Well, Its about time. 400,000 people in US with MS revisited.
Happy Thursday, The MS community has stopped saying that MS is an orphan disease. The study said around 400,000 people in the US have MS. My educated guess that it’s over 1 million. The original number is based on a study done in 1975, over 40 years ago! The NMSS is curently doing a new […]
Get your head on straight
Happy Monday, Mental attitude seems to be above all else. If you focus on being sick you will have worse days than when you think “I got this” MS you lose! Enjoy your day, Ray
Use it or lose it!
Happy Sunday, A friend of mine runs aquatic exercise classes for people with rumetoid arthritis. She says that she sees people move after class move noticably better. The same holds true for most chronic health conditions. So even though it may be hard & painful to move, you need to do something every day. Enjoy […]
