I posted a topic the other day asking about sports and if anyone has played or still does play even with MS. I got a few responses and I thank everyone for their stories and advice. I wanted to report that yesterday I played softball on my company team and I did pretty well. I didn't fall once while I was running (thank goodness) I was able to hit the ball almost everytime and even scored two runs!! I brought some ice packs out to the field with me and every chance that i got, i put them on my neck, face, chest, back... every where! I played in TEXAS HEAT and I was fine! Just wanted to share my experience.

Congrats! That took guts. I love softball but since I have a lot of relapses with Optic Neuritis it throws my aim off and I swing off about 5 feet lol. I still watch though.

Believe it or not I have been an aerobic instructor now for 15 years. Who knows how long I have had MS. I too, keep moving by teaching cycle and muscle classes. It isnt always easy with the fatigue but I always feel better after. I too, try to cool myself down when possible.

I think it is great that you were able to do that! Kudos to you!
Does anyone have problems with muscle pain and spasams after physical activity. I have a hard time just walking or raising my arms. Just wondering if it is just me.

No, I too have great muscle spasms when I overdo, even walking throughout Walmart can do me in. The heat (I live in South Florida) is no help at all. Even when I vacuum the entire house, I am done in for it. Take Care

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
