Leading MS experts share their advice to help you live better with relapsing-remitting MS.
“Learn as much as you can about your disease, but stick to science-backed sources such as a medical library or university websites. I once had a person with MS tell me that she had had all of her teeth pulled out, not for dental reasons but because she had read on the internet that MS was caused by the metals in dental work.”The current crop of MS medications are extremely effective, and they can control this disease.
MS may try to take control of your life, but you are more resilient than you know. Most urgently, find a health care provider who is right for you. Get on the MS medication that’s best for you. Build your wellness plan: a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, good sleep habits, and making a priority of the things that give you joy.Follow Smart Health Practices
Make healthy lifestyle choices. Eat a healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean-style diet. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise weekly. Make sleep a priority. Doing these things lowers the risk of diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. These conditions have a link to later MS disability. They also help people with MS have a better quality of life.
