Exercise and MS
Normally I would say this goes without saying, but this particular trial was very large and involved several aspects of mind and brain exercise.

I can say without hesitation that in 25 years the only improvement/remittance that I’ve experience is because of exercise. For me it was a Catch-22. As it got harder… I did less and less until I couldn’t do it anymore.
20+ years ago I spoke with the person who also has MS, who told me that he exercised every day. He did because a person he knew with MS said without a doubt it help them
Specifically, working out with heavy – heavy weight. Low reps with extremely heavy weight versus high reps and lighter weight. I suspect it helps your nerves ability to conduct the electrical pulses.
Also, based on an experience I had – and input from Doctor – I used a vibration device called a PowerPlate. Vibration technology was developed – as the doctor explained to me – by the Russians for exercise in space by their astronauts. Without going into too much detail here – if interested you should look into it. My experience was that after using a PowerPlate in his office I experienced some benefit. Benefit to the point I purchased a PowerPlate.
Another Catch-22 for me… I can only use it with someone helping me. Net/net – I didn’t use it enough until I couldn’t use at all.

I definitely sleep better with fewer spasms if I exercise that day, or at least stretch before bed.
