Yes, we can do this! MS is so stupid and it consumes our lives. I always wonder at those who are able to say "I have MS, but it doesn't have me." Unfortunately, MS does have me:)hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I had/have with spasms. Eating foods like bananas, orange juice, etc did help some but exercise helped as well. As a matter of fact the spasms had gotten better by 50-75% or so but the are now getting worse since I slowed up on my workouts so now I need to get my butt started again...sigh*

So my lesson learned the hard way is to NOT stop exercise, balance sucks and feel like I have to start all over again. I've started back with my recumbent bike here at home until I can go back to my PT and use my free weights and machines. after I'm feeling more secure to start again.

We can do this right?
