I had just started walking on a treadmill everyday/every other day last month when my left 6th cranial nerve had the TILT! light start blinking. (had diplopia really bad)

Ended up with really bad vertigo and was walking into walls and doors and tripping over things at home because my mom keeps putting stuff on the floor that shouldnt be on the floor. (like her purse, in the middle of the doorway)

I started back up doing that last week. I'm not quite back up to the half hour I was able to do before the cranial nerve went fubar. (I had 3 days of IVSM to speed up the recovery of the nerve)

Erin, I'm sorry you had such a rough go of it. Its brave of you to start back up: many would just give up permanently. I know you will get back to where you were with your walking, it just takes time to build back up. Welcome to the Club and Charter Memebership

I'm in! Now that it is 100+ degrees out (maybe 110 right now) I do stretching exercises everyday and make housework a workout. It is too hot for me to walk to the pool to swim. I get so fatigued just walking the 50 feet to my car let alone walk up to the pool.

During the cooler months, I walk every morning. I don't go for distance but go for time. I can do anywhere between 5 minutes to 30 minutes a day. I hope to start this back up in about 2 months. The mornings should start cooling off by then.

It was just the vertigo that the diplopia was stirring up that was keeping me from walking on the treadmill...and driving...and sleeping...(stupid MS trolls!)

I still get some double vision, my eye doctor told me yesterday that the double vision should start to really improve in the next couple of months. He thinks it should go away completely now that I've had the IVSM.

I'm noticing improvement in some sensory symptoms today (numbness) So I'm pretty happy right now. I just wish my left leg would stop burning. (it's start to itch now too...wonder if that means that normal feeling will be coming back soon?)
