for me personally, my Dr prescribed PT & I do many exercises to keep up strength & dexterity in my arms & legs & feet & hands I'm not sure they help in the short term, but hope they slow down progression & keep me able to function (somewhat) normally. At the very least it gives me a small sense of control over this nasty disorder. ...also as an aside I'm 64 & need to gain muscle & it's slow even w/ PT 3x a week so I'm trying DAA, D-Aspartic Acid, natural & no neg side effects, only on week two, hopeing to see results by week 8-12.

Thanks for your reply. I hope to be able to do some exercises in the future. Even if it doesn't do much for me physically I think mentally it could help. I would imagine your exercises are helping you with a lot of things. Keep going. I hope the best for you.

My doc recomended using Creatine to build muscle strength. It comes as a powder and you mix about 5 grams into water or milk. I also take whey protein powder mixed in too. Take this right before exercicing. There are many studies that show this works to build muscle and I did notice it working for me. Suggested dosages are on the container. These powders are often used by body builders.
