wondering where people get their info from?

[Guest guest]

We here in Elgin county have a MS group at our chapter and we are

called " MS Warriors of Elgin Chapter " . We are thinking about going

back into schools and teaching about MS from MSers themselves. Who

whould know better right?

Well, I know back in the dark ages people with MS were diagnosed by

being in warm water. This I was informed with anyway. Well, I heard

a real funny one the other day, we are not suppose to sweat! Now

everyone knows sweating is good for everyone. Overheating and over

doing are totally differnt though. We all know our bodies and we do

what we think we can do. I came into this disease and researched it

and still research it just so I know about it, The biggest thing I

have learned is from myself though and this is it. If u go into this

disease thinking you can't do anything without trying than you may as

well give up now. I am talking relaspe/ remitting because I do know

we are all different when we are diagnosed with a different type,

that would be when we are limited I think. I don't think I would

still give up trying though, you just don't know unless you try...

right?

This is why I wanted the name " MS Warriors " because we have to fight

everyday with this monster and if we just gave up trying... we would

be known as quitters. Look at Montel ... he works out with

weights and everything... does that tell us sweating is something we

shouldn't do? i thik not.

Yes, I know this disease is scarey but please don't give into it.

It's like being in a dark alley and someone approaches you, would you

fight the best you could or just give in?

I hope no one takes any of this the wrong way at all. Yes, I did ask

a question and I kind of vented as well. Please share your thoughts

and feelings with me.

hugs...

Hi ,

I think "MS Warriors" is a great name! I absolutely agree that we all know our limits. We may not always heed them, or see the warning signs in time lol, but we try.

Who said MSers shouldn't sweat? At first I thought you meant they said MSers don't sweat, but I think I got it straight now. LOL Did they mean that MSers should avoid sweating, because sweating is a sign of getting hot/too hot? For me, that would probably be true. lol But I don't have an MS dx. LOL

Hi Challis

Thanks for liking our group name. I think it says everything as

well. Yes it was another lady that has MS that said we are not

suppose to sweat. I don't think there is any truth to that myself

because even when I started walking again. all I did was sweat. You

exercise - you sweat, you walk- you sweat you can stop yourself from

sweating. lol I am just finding some things are so unbelieveable

with what comes out of peoples mouths sometimes. I don't know how

many people have ever had ten people come up to them and ask them is

they have been tipping the bottle either. Man, when i use to drink

and sometimes stagger, people still didn't say anything to me. I

just an't picture complete strangers coming up to u and saying that.

Can you imagine being a young child and hearing about MS and them

saying that you can't sweat or else an attack will come about. I

think that would scare them and they would be lasier than they are

now. lol

Thanks for the reply
