Sweating isn't necessarily a bad thing, perhaps you just need to take it down a notch. Going for walks is great, do you have someone you can walk with? As far as the gym, try it again if you feel up to it. Most importantly, check with your doctor to make sure there are no underlying causes for your sweating if this is new.

My Therapist had me working major muscle groups. leg lifts, squats,some arm works too. I stopped going to the therapist but have a treadmill here and use that. The side rails work well for balance and I still do the exercises the therapist taught me. on days it's not so hot out, I walk around the block.

I have a treadmill at home, that has bars on the side. I have an awful time with balance, so I can hold on while I walk. I also have hand weights, and there are exercises you can do while seated.

Kazinmich, WELCOME! I`ve Found Swimming to be a Great Wat To exercice. It`s not to stressful on Your Body or Mind. It`s also very relaxing. I go at around Dusk,when the sun has gone down. And since I live in an Apt. with lots of kids,There`s Usually No One AROUND!Also there`s a Book in the Library about Low impact Exercice With a Chair. Thinking Of YOU. Hoping Everything Gets Better & Easier!GOOD LUCK!!!!! LIVE,LOVE & LAUGH!!!!!!!! Love,PEACE & HAPPINESS & MY PRAYERS & BEST WISHES TO YOU & Yours ALWAYS! Cindi/Indigo

I've got an Oxy Cycle that I use on my arms. Only have one arm that works, neither legs.

Starting PT again next week. Hoping to stand again.

i am going to start swimming, tomorrow, i hope, we'll see how i feel!

I just started doing Yoga, and I had no idea I had like zero balance! But, I still think it's good since it's low impact and stretches major muscle groups. So, just try to find something that's not too strenuous.

I HAVE A BOWFLEX, AN ELLIPTICAL CROSS TRAINER, AN EXERCISE BALL, A BOOK WITH SITTING AND STANDING EXERCISES FOR MS PATIENTS, AND YOGA.

MY DR SAID IN THE LATE AFTERNOON, DRINK SOME GINSING TEA AND WALK A SMALL BIT, MAYBE THE DRIVE, SIT ON THE FLOOR AND LIFT THE LEGS FIVE TIMES EACH, OR DO THE STEPS IN YOUR HOUSE, DO SOMETHING, DONT BE ACOUCH POTATOE, THAT IS THE WORST THING FOR YOUR MUSCLES. YOU'LL FEEL BETTER ONCE YOU GET INTO A ROUTINE, I WALK THE STEPS IN MY HOUSE, 3 TIMES A DAY, ALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT IT IS MAKING THE LEGS STRONGER.

at the aquatic center here they offer M.S. exercise programs that I am doing, and I do
yoga. I love it low impact so I don't over do it and I don't over heat ;)

I do recumbent exercise bicycle.If you're not familiar with them,it is like a regular padded chair seat, witha frot bicycle wheel out in front. It is about the height of a low footstool. (So you don't have to fear falling to your death) I have vertigo/unsteadiness issues. My machine has the arm things too. Like padded levers, instead of handlebars (don't know what they are called) but it allows you to work on your arms at the same time(when I'm coordinated enough!) I just get in front of the air vent in the living room, and pedal away while my "stories" are on. I can go 6 miles while Y&R is on! I love it. I have to be careful though, because I can accidentally go to far, and then I'm sore!

Riding a stationary bike, walking, swimming, and stretching. You should plan your day's activities carefully in order to take advantage of fluctuations in energy.

Prevent fever and avoid exposure to extreme heat, both of which can worsen symptoms.

Eat a well-balanced diet.

thank you everyone! I LOVE swimming, and would go every day after work if I could. My bf's father even has a pool, plus there is a beautiful lake nearby. The problem is by the time I pick up my daughter, get home it's time for a late dinner... and then after dinner, they look at me like I'm crazy if I suggest it! I still haven't gotten the bf to bring my treadmill in.. I'm working on that. I just know that I will keep overheating. It's not even doing less. I walk slowly.. about 60 feet.. and break out in a sweat. that's walking slowly. by the time I get to my desk at work from the parking lot I have dry mouth, can't breathe or talk and i'm super sweaty it's embarassing! He thinks it might be from the celexa. It's either that or the Rebif. I'm off the gabapentin (neurontin) totally now. I've been startng with simple leg lifts and movements while sitting on one of those big exercise balls..

If you have a cooling vest - wear it even before you begin to do any type of exercise. Also, water aerobics is wonderful or even just walking in a pool that is chest high is great too!

for excercise i buy workout equipment
