Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is never going away, but how you adjust to it can greatly change the quality of your life. People tell me all the time that they are trying to eat better or exercise more.  Going in half way doesn’t work.  You need to find the right diet & exercise regimen that works for […]

The FDA has allowed the food industry to mislead us.  Follow this simple rule & try to eat organic when you can. Enjoy the day, Ray

More & More information is coming out about the positive effects of exercise & MS.  Do what you can & never risk injuring yourself.  Not only does exercise help you physically, it can help you mentally & help you sleep better.

There are different views on this controversial subject.  Here is my recent experience: I have a medical card & smoke a small amount at 9:00 P.M. every night.  If I don’t smoke, I only sleep 1 or 2 hours.  If I do smoke, I sleep 6-7 hours. I had run out & had no time […]

Happy Sunday, I am following a program: Overcoming MS.  by Dr George Jelinek from Australia.  He has MS & his mother had MS. The first part of the OMS Recovery Program is: Eat Well. There is more to it, but one major facet is to eliminate dairy completely.  It’s hard but I did so about a […]

Yesterday was the MS professionals day at the symposium.  The reception of our 8′ tour bus cut out was incredible.  We are gathering signatures to represent what we will be doing next year nationally.    Day 2 is today, Saturday October 29th, is patient day!  People with MS & their care partners will be coming […]

Week 7 complete.  20.5 miles!  I would encourage everyone to get into a pool & move around.  You can do whatever you can & if you fall, you don’t get hurt!  I am getting in the best shape of my life & the weight machines are getting lighter. I am in a study at UConn […]

Swim update Week 5:  13.5 miles complete!  This is hard.  I have found that doing a half mile (66 laps) rather than a full mile (132 laps) at a time works better for me.  A full mile takes too much out of me.  After a half mile, I sit for 10 minutes then I’m ready […]
