I have just started to return to running and I love it but it sucks. :) I am soooooo much slower than I used to be and can only run half the distance. I am lucky in that the fibro isn't degenerative but it still makes getting out of bed some days feel like a pipe dream. Kudos to you for kicking MS's ass... If it helps, there's someone else out there slogging along with you. ;)sumohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966319340593383373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956782078294242459.post-44805175612805185272012-06-24T06:57:13.354-07:002012-06-24T06:57:13.354-07:00MS is such a mystery.

I've actually known quite a few people with MS in my life. I did MS biking event a number of years ago, before I was into running, in honor of three of my friends' relatives who have it. A friend of my sister's has it, and he's a fantastic runner. Just ran Boston again this year. These people are an inspiration, and so are you. Cheers!B.

So sorry you hav...It is unreal to read this, Angie! So sorry you have to deal with this. Thank you, though, for writing about it. One upside I can see is you had the beginning signs very young and have progressed very little, thus with my little knowledge of MS, I would suspect you have a very slowly progressing form. The worst form I have seen as a physician is that that comes on in middle life and affects men. How are your parents doing now? Are they still high functioning? As you said, there are many variants of MS. Boy oh boy, but that doesn't make it fun or anything. Awesome idea with lots of exercise: makes sense in every way. But did you get an explanation for your very low B12 levels??? This is something I would take up with your doctor again. This could explain a lot of your symptoms. If you are not absorbing it properly through your intestines, you can take all of the supplements you want and never raise your levels. Some people need to get an IM injection of B12 - just something I would look into a bit further if I were you!!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956782078294242459.post-71718248129873124632012-06-22T04:34:24.105-07:002012-06-22T04:34:24.105-07:00If anyone can kick MS's ass it's you. ;) W...If anyone can kick MS's ass it's you. ;) When I saw this post come up on fb, I immediately thought "well that explains all the health weirdness of the last year!"<br /><br />Much love and strength to you.
