I have to say that although I have given up smoking I haven't changed my lifestyle all that much. I have always had a fairly healthy diet. My lifestyle changes are not so much for the best I don't exercise anywhere near as much as I used to before MS. When I get fatigued, my head fills with cotton wool, I 'list' to the left, my feet drag and I panic - even tho Tysabri has helped me a lot.

It is nearly ten years for me now - and I don't really remember being any other way than I am now. I know I used to go to the gym five times a week, I know that I used to dance all night, work all day and be active and healthy - I just don't remember what it felt like.

What I have now is my perception of normal (for me anyway).
