About | Hi my name is Diann. I used to be very active and loved doing annd living outside. I am in my 50's and still try but I was diagnosed with primary progressive MS about 6 years ago. Since my diagnosis I have continually gone downhill physically. I have problems holding things and started shaking more recently. My walking is terrible, have a hard time with balance and hug walls frequently. I think the hardest thing is the heat sensitivity and the severe fatigue. The fatigue sometimes keeps me in bed and causes me to have to rest frequently. The Heat does not allow me to spend much time outside once the temp gets above 75 or higher. I do use a cooling vest a lot but only helps for so long. I live in NE Oklahoma so we have cold, very cold, a few nice days then nothing but extremely hot! I have noticed I am losing my muscle mass and need to get stronger! Looking forward to working with others! |
