If you don't use your arms & legs you'll lose function in them....

[Guest guest]

if they are affected by MS. My neuro always warned me that if I did not use my

legs or arms I'd lose the function in them and be permanently stuck in a

wheelchair. Almost was anyway but I kept on fighting to stay somewhat

ambulatory in the house. So for 14 years before I started LDN I did pool

therapy and got physical therapy off and on and my mom became my massage

therapist. I got in the pool before LDN at least 3 days a week and did no less

than 2 hours work on my legs and arms. The YMCA is a 50 mile drive one way from

my home, I WAS DETERMINED!! After LDN I had a significant reduction in pain and

some reduction in fatigue and I took full advantage of that. I began to go to

the YMCA 6 days a week and spent no less than 2 hours in the pool working my

limbs. I will have been on LDN 2 years as of July 11, 05. I no longer need my

mobility scooter at any time or anywhere. I might would need it if I were to

try and go to a large amusement park, college or pro sports event or a Nascar

race...I haven't done these things since I started LDN so I have not used my

mobility scooter in a looooong time and my batteries are dead on the thing.

Remember, if you don't use your limbs, you WILL lose the function in them.
