How one woman with MS enjoys her active life, broken down into three simple tips. MSAwarenessMOnth
By Ann Marie Johnson, as told to Shishira Sreenivas
When I don’t feel good, I make a cup of tea. So I did that and went to sleep. When I woke up, the funny feelings had shifted to waist down. It felt like pins and needles when your hand falls asleep. I also had numbness and my legs didn’t move. I fell to the floor when I tried to move. In terms of the emotional aspect of this illness, I figured if I'm going to have mobility devices, I'm going to look good with it. So I got a leopard cane to match my leopard print shoes. For the holidays, I have a black and white cane. I also have my African queen cane. So instead of people hearing me from the clack-clack-clack of my shoes, now they heard me because of the clack-clack-clack of my cane.
For example, I work long hours. I found that it's best for me to eat small meals because if I have a big breakfast and then have a big lunch, it exacerbates my fatigue. If I have small meals stretched out during the course of my day, it maintains my energy level to a point where I can function, and I'm not nodding off at work.MS causes me to have frequent urination. I have to be mindful of how I get my fluids.
