We need to pay attention to our selves when we get fatigued. I AM 68 AND CAN NOT DO THINGS I use to do like I did 20 or 30 years ago. To day I was out shoveling snow. ( New England Is FUN) I use the snow shovel as a CANE. After a few hours my feet wouldn't stay in place properly. Time to quit and have a cup of coffee. In the past I have pushed myself further than I should have, Then I am on the ground and have a very difficult time getting back up. As I keep reminding myself, It is OK to take a break.
Absolutely agree! It is in invaluable to listen to your body, and give yourself the grace of taking a break when in the past you may not have needed one🧡 Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for these exercises. I always feel quilty when I’m not moving. My stability is limited when standing. So exercising is difficult for me to do without loosing my balance. I can see how these exercise will be beneficial for me.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you for these helpful videos. I get extremely frustrated that I am unable to do 1/2 of any designated exercise secondary to left-sided hemiparesis from c-spine lesions. I wish there was a simple answer and timeline but obviously this is not the case. I have been working in another MS program for the last 5+ years with no success.
I'm glad to hear that the enthusiam shared in the the videos is contagious. I can imagine how eaily it is to become discouraged, but I hope that you continue with your exercises, and perhaps incorporate what is shared on this channel as well. Please try to not be too hard on yourself in the process🧡You're doing great!
Thank you, I even feel that this is very helpful, not only for the fatigue, but also for when I am in a low mood fase, this will also help me very much, So thank you 🥰
For some reason I can only exercise late in the day; nothing heavy, but what ever I do, it’s more comfortable to do it after 7 pm at night. I am still grateful to my body that I can walk around 5000 to 6000 steps if I was to go for a walk. I do need to sit down and rest, but my walking stick it’s very useful and it’s helping me when I need it. Your video has made me realise that I do feel guilty when I’m in bed middle of the day 😢 and it’s time to give myself the pleasure to enjoy the rest.
Thanks Gretchen! I can do most of those exercises very slowly when I have fatigue, but the one I still can't figure out and no one has ever explained or help me with is that I get SEVERE Pain in my upper arms (on the outside mostly, triceps) the burn soooooo bad and if I do minor exercise or chore etc it gets even worse. Is the lactic acid build up or what I can do?? Thank you for all your wonderful videos and tips, appreciate it greatly. ❤
Such a great question! These are exactly the types of questions that I answer, live inside The MSing Link during our monthly Q&A call! My first approach in a situation like this is always to do fewer repeitions in one sitting, but multiple times throughout the day and see how that feels! I hope to see you in The MSing Link community soon!

If that works best for you than that is great! Allowing yourself to rest is, guilt free, is so important!
