Hi Starznight,

It sounds like you are doing better What I don't understand is why you are using a wheelchair Even with a relapse walking is very important. Of course, safety first. Using a walker, or cane, trekking poles if needed is always a smart thing to do.

At this point you are RR and it's very important to retain your mobility for as long as possible. There is no reason, that I am aware based on your posts, that you can't walk around in your home. The phrase "use it or lose it" is especially true when having this disease.

Walking, exercise, and working with a Physical Therapist will help maintain core strength and mobility.

From The National Multiple Sclerosis Society regarding exercise and MS: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Nat...ryday-Life.pdf
