3 Ways to Live Well with MS
There are more than a few misconceptions about multiple sclerosis. One of those being that people with MS can’t exercise. In reality, mild to moderate exercise is great for improving strength and muscle tone!
Help spread awareness about living with MS during National MS Education and Awareness Month by sharing these tips to help those with MS relieve the signs and symptoms.

@anisha1232 I totally agree! I’ve been an athlete and Soldier my entire life but always had that “somethings not right feeling” after joining the military. MS took a toll on me. I decided to fight back after lots of Physical Therapy with Crossfit. I’m so thankful that I did. I’m stronger physically. My Crossfit is adaptive to my disabilities but I have a great support system. Keep fighting and keep moving no matter what to anyone living with MS. After all, we are #StrongerThanMS #StrongerTogether. I would share a before and after picture but I don’t know how. I’m new to this. Stay strong mentally and physically and never give up!
“You inspired me to join the Mayo Clinic Discussion group concerning MS! I hope to share my story and learn from others!”

Hi @anisha1232 and @ricksraleigh
I started a New Discussion about MS in the Brain & Nervous System group:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – please introduce yourself http://mayocl.in/2eKI4Kj
We have quite a few Connect members talking about MS, but no one place where everyone can introduce themselves. Thank you for inspiring me to get this started. Long over-due! I hope you’ll join me in the new thread: http://mayocl.in/2eKI4Kj

GREAT! My name is Michelle Ricks and I have been a full-time teacher for 8 years , followed by a tutor when my MS was making me extremely tired! I would love to be able to walk without a rollator and tutor again! I am retired on disability!
