Default Stiffness anyone??

I don't remember Stiffness mentioned in any of the brochures on MS symptoms, but I understand its common.

I've been doing Yoga off and on for 15 years. While I'm certainly not the most flexible and will never be able to sit in the Lotus position, I can do the majority of the basic poses and get a lot out of it.

I noticed recently that I don't have the same flexibility as I did only a month ago! It seems every night my left side tightens up more. I can bend sideways at the hip on my left side and almost touch the floor. Bending to the right is quite different. I'm not even near the floor!

I keep hoping its temporary and will improve, but it has not. In fact, its gotten worse: first just my left shoulder, now my whole left side. My entire left side feels tight and shortened.

Other than Yoga and swimming, any ideas on keeping your flexibility?
