Exercise Makes a Difference for Those Living with Chronic Illness

Exercise Makes a Difference for Those Living with Chronic Illness



After experiencing symptoms including numbness in her fingers, weakness on the right side of her body and extreme fatigue, Grace Ragland was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), the most common form of MS. MS is a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord, brain and nerves. Despite her diagnosis, Ragland was determined to not let MS stand in her way of leading an active and fulfilling life.


With the encouragement of family and friends, Ragland decided to take up mountain biking in an effort to cope with her disease and now races competitively; leaving her worries about MS behind her. “I will not let MS get in the way of accomplishing my goals,” she says.


While most people are not competitive mountain bike racers like Ragland, it is recommended that people with chronic illnesses like MS engage in moderate physical activity and adopt a healthy lifestyle to help manage their disease. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion says that regular physical activity can help people with chronic, disabling conditions improve their stamina and muscle strength and can improve psychological well-being and quality of life. If you are living with a chronic illness, here are some tips from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) to help construct a helpful exercise routine:
* Consult a physician. He/she will be able to make recommendations about exercise frequency, duration and type of exercise most beneficial for you.

* Modify exercises, especially if symptoms cause a difference in strength or ability between one side of the body and the other.

* If a particular activity makes you feel worse, you may have overdone it. Start slowly and exercise a little longer at each session.

* Schedule physical activity for the time of the day when energy is highest. Alternate more demanding exercise with activity requiring less.


Today, Ragland is successfully living with MS and is now the newest member of Team Copaxone, a group of individuals who are pursuing their dreams despite MS. The team celebrates the accomplishments of people like Ragland who refuse to let their condition stand in their way. She passionately maintains a positive outlook on life. “I have MS,” Ragland says. “MS doesn’t have me.”

Simple Ways to Scatter Joy This Mother’s Day

- It really is the thought that counts, especially when finding the perfect way to express your sincere appreciation for all that Mom does to give support, comfort, and joy year round. This Mother’s Day, as people are looking for simple ways to show Mom how much they care, it means that every gift and card has an even bigger job to do.



Kathy Davis, a mother, author and artist for American Greetings, offers these simple ways to give the gift of joy to Mom this Mother’s Day to show her how much she is loved and respected.



Show Her Your Gratitude



Think about all of the things your mom has done for you over the years to show her love and support. Write out what you remember about these instances and how important they are to you in a heartfelt note. It only takes a few minutes, but creates a lasting keepsake that she will treasure and reread for years to come.



Shower her with the same attention she gives you by spending some time talking together. Take this opportunity to find out fun facts, stories, and details of her life that you might have otherwise not known.



It’s All About Appreciation



Mom has spent countless hours and sleepless nights caring for you, worrying about you and helping you to succeed, so Mother’s Day is a great day to pamper her with all of the things she doesn’t often get to indulge in -- some quiet time to read, a bubble bath, or just the free time to take a walk.



Try tackling some of the thankless tasks that Mom performs every day -- whether it is household chores, meal preparation, or running errands. Putting yourself in her shoes is a great way to let her know how much you appreciate what she does for you every single day.



All She Needs is Love



Spending quality time together, whether it’s an outing, a meal together, or just an afternoon spent going through old photo albums, is oftentimes the most precious gift of all.



Use Mother’s Day as a catalyst to stay in better touch with Mom year-round. Commit to showing her the same appreciation, gratitude and love she has shown you by regularly calling, sending her notes and always listening to her.



“My ‘Scatter Joy’ philosophy is all about finding your own joy and inspiration and then sharing it with those around you. They, in turn, may be inspired to do the same, creating a positive ripple effect,” says Davis. “Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to shower love and affection on your own mom, as well as all of the other wonderful women and mothers in your life, such as your sisters, daughters, aunts and friends.”



Mother’s Day cards by Kathy Davis can be found at participating drug chains, grocery stores and super centers nationwide, as well as in American Greetings and Carlton Cards retail stores. Kathy Davis giftware and her new book, “Scatter Joy: Living, Giving and Creating A Life You Love,” are available at all American Greetings and Carlton Card stores nationwide.

Caution Under Construction

Caution Under Construction- I Am A Survior !!

Today I had to laugh at myself. I turned 50 this week, still working out the details and property of the divorce along with all the reconstruction surgery due to breast cancer. I put on my hard hat and wore my T-shirt that said "Caution Underconstruction." A good way to sum up this past year. "New Life, New Beginings New Body" and I am loving all of it.

Faith

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens;but often we look so long at the closed door that we donot see the one which has been opened for us."-Helen Keller (1880-1968)

Promises

Presents aren't promises and kisses aren't contracts. Something everyone should learn

Promises

Promises in the name of love have to be kept or you shall lose the one you love forever.

We we are still discussion property and spouse support. My ex does not want to pay anything. The spouse support would only cover COBRA insurance benefits.

(Imagine as well only half complete and uninsurable. Talk about a nice guy!! All we can do pray he sees the light.After 30 years of marriage and the support I gave him during this time working 2 jobs etc.. dont you wish we could issue a wanted poster for these men.

The Year At The Spring

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -All's right with the world!
~Robert Browning
