I am in the same boat, and always catch myself slumping down later in the day because of fatigue and the lack of exercise to strengthen the back muscles. It is time for a change.

I understand completely how you are feeling.

It happened again! Every time I think I have something really unique going on others have it too.

I have noticed myself slumping like an old lady.

My chiro told me to keep trying to stand and sit up straight. He said "think military" shoulders back so I am trying to do that.

When I catch myself slouching I sit up straight again.

It is such a strange thing that we deal with on a daily basis.

In the morning, when I am shaving, I catch myslef slumping a little. But by evening, when I shave again, the slumping is unreal. I mean it is almost to the point where I have to lean on the vanity just so that my hands don't hit the ground.

I have the same problem, and have to do back exercises to keep my muscles reasonably strong. The exercises my doctor gave me are in the following thread:

Default Thank you all,

I too amazed that other people are going through all of these same issues. So I guess it is the MS? Causing weak muscles...or what???

Cherie,
Thanks for the exercises. I will try those. I was glad this took me back to that thread, as well. I had lost track of it. It's bad enough I'm losing my mind...must I lose everything else along with it???
Thanks!

You are all great...once again, so sorry others have to experience these things...but if you must... I sure am glad I have you to share with!!!
