MS Patient, Dana

@echidnasands Depending where you picked up this story you may or may not know I do all this exercise so that I can waterski. I absolutely understand I will never waterski as well as I once could. However it brings me so much joy, a happiness I can’t live without. Waterskiing is my motivation.

This is helping! I am only using one and a half pounds on my right ankle, but it’s correcting hip alignment problems which is allowing me to place my foot properly on the floor. instagram.com/reel/DW3rJOnRf…

@TheMSKittylady Thank you. It was very difficult to find medical professionals that wouldn’t dismiss my concerns for standard MS. Once I got the appropriate MRI and findings that confirmed it was tendon tears I got physical therapy, rehabilitation to address the problem properly.

@Chalenging_MS I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that on top of everything else. Glad you’re ok though. This life isn’t for the weak. Stay strong 🥰

I’m buzzing. I’ve not been able to walk since last June. I’ve had some treatment with the Neubie at an amazing clinic and then joined their remote program using the Mitouch. I’m due back in clinic in May but I just did 6 steps using a walker. Not pretty but yay I did it!

@TheMSKittylady I am doing okay Bev. My workouts are done in physical therapy rehabilitation facilities currently. My tendon’s and ligaments have incurred several tears in the transition from perimenopause into menopause and they are healing extremely slow.

@Chalenging_MS Thank you Dana, I’m thrilled. I hope you are doing well, I don’t see many of your posts on here anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

10 Days of record setting temperatures in a row. Warmest March on record. Currently. All days above average temperature. Hoping for one day with a below average temperature.

@lancelotspram I see it as a positive good change as well

@Chalenging_MS Wow! That's a huge positive for you!

🤔interesting observation 🤔 used a pain relief location and very quickly felt the tension in connective tissues (fascia) adjust. The body stopped restricting and guarding against pain

Physical therapy. 🤔it seems the MS is affecting how slowly or quickly i recover from injuries. I’m sure my age or the transition from perimenopause into menopause isn’t helping either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ghostridertripp Very talented. Thank you for sharing

@cassidyllc Injuries are simply part of the adventure,the life long game of shoots and ladders. Time for me to go back to the beginning.

@Chalenging_MS I’m so sorry to hear about your injuries. :-( I don’t spent much time on X these days, so I haven’t been seeing your posts. I like the TRX for mobility too.

youtu.be/6oZcNM3bGic?si…. TRX time

@cassidyllc After injury’s i having difficulty strength training and will go back to using TRX to improve mobility.

@Chalenging_MS I just got TRX straps - I really like them, and I never would have tried them without your videos. Thank you!

🤔observation combined with MRI proof🤔 Facts not F*ckery Labrum tears in multiple places Injury not MS Be aware of how you feel. Illnesses and injuries do not exist in a vacuum. Both can be true!

@ghostridertripp @lippyent Same

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

🤔 observation🤔 as I started today my hip felt very unstable. Suddenly, I felt the connective tissue tighten, and the hip felt more stable and slightly less painful. 🤷‍♀️

@SamsaraBLVG I’m sorry. I know the challenges. Please take care of yourself emotionally and physically.

I am in the middle of a pseudo relapse, trying to avoid a full blown relapse. I had a reaction to Tysabri because I was already sick. I have been sleeping for about 2 months now 🥺 #CureMS

Deadlifts Not where I was, not where I will be but where I am. One rep at a time, one day at a time, one workout at a time.

@Lighty99 Yes the unusually hot summer of 2024 almost melted me. It found it by body to tolerate infrared heat, and it’s beginning to relax under any form of more heat. Something is changing back to the way it should be I think.

🤔observation 🤔 Something is vastly different Waking up today with tight muscles (normal for me) Heat usually causes them to tighten more. But today it is relaxing them. This is odd

This is not the first time I’ve had to rebuild ability & independence. But here we are. I am celebrating that I prepared my own breakfast 5 consecutive days, & reset the kitchen so it’s ready for the next task.

@Lighty99 @lancelotspram True sad but true 💔

As I am struggling daily to prepare my breakfast I need to remind myself in 2021, 2022 & 2023 I was simply doing weekly meal prep for breakfast In 2024 & 2025 I was eating a store bought already packaged breakfast
