Pearl, if you can use a public pool, its great for balance problems because you cannot fall in a pool.

If not, find ways to build up your leg muscles. With disuse, the muscles atrophy and worsen the balance problems caused by MS.

If you are unsteady on a treadmill and worry about that, start with someone there to keep an eye on you until you build up muscle and confidence. If its still not good, how about a bicylce machine whre you are sitting while pedaling??

I am starting an August thread now, so please post there!
