A good walking stick helps me with my cadence and rhythm while walking. A good quality lightweight running or hiking shoe helps as well. I tend to drag my right foot. Three to four trips to the gym a week for stationary bike and weight training and I’m feeling the best I have since I was diagnosed. Fatigue is still a major issue though. A supplement called NAC taken daily seems to be helping with multiple symptoms. Stay mobile to be mobile!

I really wanted to say the sheets I found on Instagram were a game changer but no such luck. Maybe for some but not for us!

Two things have been special winners for me:
1- Urban poles for walking. Used correctly, they help reinforce good posture, give my triceps a workout as I walk, support my balance …and I get a lot of comments about how cool they look !
2- these make putting on pants all by yourself a breeze! Inexpensive and promotes independence!
