Does anyone's body rock constantly when they are trying to sit still? Drives me crazy. I notice it the most when I'm sitting on my front porch smoking (yes, I know I should quit) with nothing to lean up against. My body constantly and rhythmically rocks. I know I'm not imagining it because, if I have a shadow, it's also noticeably rocking.

Do you have small kids? I used to do that for awhile after my kids were little. . .

I have it, too. Almost feels like a pulsing or something.

I do have small kids but not small enough to be rocked. :) And it's barely noticeable. If you were looking at me you wouldn't think I was rocking. It's a miniscule rhythmic motion. Suddenly I'll have the feeling that I'm moving and sure enough I am. Rocking back and forth. Wendy you are right. It's kind of like a pulse that moves your whole body ever so slightly. I've had it since before I knew MS was a possibility for me. Just noticed it again today and thought I'd ask if anyone else experienced it. Makes me kinda seasick. :) thanks for responding!

Worth discussing with the neurologist for sure. I haven't had much of that. I did have a situation at one time where if I was sitting in a chair and tapping my foot up and down, I would deliberately try to stop doing that and it kept right on going. Was very strange. I think it could be a nerve thing. (As I always say, I think magnesium helps out in that area).

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
