    I have an additional question, I have limb onset and getting more difficult especially when traveling on the road or using public restrooms with out family rest room. I have only my husband to help so how do you handle using the commode when you are no longer able to lift yourself up.

    I started the cytokines trial trading to arizona, too early to say if there is positive effects minimal side effects. This drug is to help with muscle strength. We just have to keep on trying.

      I hear ya! I am so stiff in the AM. I began with a 5 min. stretch while lying in bed (knee pulls, leg stretch, body twists, rolling over, etc) over 11 years this routine has morphed into a full 30-min. When I finally stand and walk to the bathroom, I feel more coordinated, relaxed and… if the rest of the day falls apart, at least I’ve done some…[Read more]

It took about a week to do, but I’ve been sleeping a solid 9 hours for 11…[Read more]

      Hi Linda, I have found that range of motion movements and gentle stretching helped me keep my legs from feeling stiff. And I am able to keep the muscle tone as well. On days when I miss doing my ROM sessions, I end up feeling stiffer and move with less ease.

      I’ve written a lot in my blog about these types of gentle movements. Let me know if you…[Read more]
