Default use it or lose it

Hey everyone,

I liked the thread on what hobbies we like to do, but I'd also like to know if there is some type of cause and effect of "using it or losing it" in regards to our symptoms.

Because each of us has different symptoms, the "use it or lose it" has to correlate with our specific symptom that we're trying to contol. Does that make sense?

Anyway, in my case, my right toe curls but I still haven't found a cause and effect as to why it's good one day and bad the next. I take a muscle relaxant which does help but I also bought "Dance, Dance Revolution" (DDR)to keep my feet and toes limber. With DDR, there is a CD that you insert in an X-Box and it brings up different songs (some with fast beats and some with slow beats) which you follow along with arrows on the television screen.

There is also a word game on the website "Real Arcade" called Text Twist that helps keep my miind more alert.

Do any of you have other symptoms that are controlled, in part, because you "use it" instead of losing it?
