Hi! Welcome to PC!

I got my MS dx about a year and a half ago and for a long time I just kinda walked around in a daze. Started treatment, seeing docs etc.

I'm finally out of that daze and ready to take my life back. So things are looking up big time and I'm glad to have met you! You seem like you're not lettin your lupus get you down, and I need people like that in my life - hence the help me motivate subject line lol! I was really afraid I wouldn't keep up on the workouts but I've had a lot of support!

When I first started seeing my neurologist he said to me "don't get fat". (Yeah he tells it to me straight lol). Weight gain is a big factor for people with MS he said because fat cells make it harder for the nerves fire and my nerves are already damaged. Also he said that excersise would keep me strong and help with fatigue. Well I'm the type that I'm so bad at doing that stuff.....I would do my pilates dvd every so often but I was putting on the pounds.

Then a woman was brought into my life who had 4 pilates dvd's put out by the same instructor and she gave them to me and has been a huge part of my motivating. So I'm very grateful to her and everyone here for being my cheerleaders!
