  5. I have long standing MS. For winter, Clark’s Cloudsteppers are absolutely my best shoes. During the summer, I wear Trotters memory foam sandals with adjustable straps exclusively.

  9. Definitely sharing this awesome video Dr Beabs❤️💪🏻
    I’m pushing the movin n groovin in our group- a little movement builds up.
    I do think PT is underused in MS. I try anytime I have issues- reassessing myself- could there be a PT movement I could use to help? Excellent education.

  11. Dalfampridine really helps my walking speed. Without it I’m like the energizer bunny slightly before stopping. Keen shoes last a really long time, though expensive, are my favorites. Though the newer ones of canvas and other non leather definitely don’t last as long.

  12. Dr B thanks all you for education on MS and both medical and lifestyle remediations. While I am not unhappy with own Neurologist she isn’t a teacher and a coach like I think of you. Keep posting thoughtful trends on this topic. I have been so far spared from the worst consequences after being diagnosed 12 years ago with relapsing/remitting MS and I intend to keep my physical health as good as possible. Your channel helps!

  13. Ampyra, AFO for knee hyperextention and a walking pole are getting me around. Definitely going to check out a cooling vest my walking declines rapidly as I heat up.

  14. Love my Saucony runners with AFO they are made for orthotics going up one size allows me to fit my giant AFO in. They are Saucony Echelon xt-900. Really wide foot bed and amazing support. Just have to make sure the laces are very loose and I can get it in there with a shoehorn.

  16. Video suggestion: how to manage heat with severe intolerance.

    I have a cooling vest but in 115 degree weather (AZ resident here) it doesn't help at all.

    It's severe intolerance. I was out in 115 degree last year for an hr at daughters swim meet. Dunked my legs in pool, cooling vest on, hat soaking wet and I was sick rest of day and 2 days later.

    Any suggestions other than stay inside and miss out on life?

  17. This video couldnt come at better time!!!
    I just did bloodwork/creatinine clearance urine test so i can start amprya. I am just praying my insurance approves it.

    I miss walking! Walking was my jam! Such a stress reliever and sooo healthy.
    for Shoes: I have brooks
    My feet have always hurt and since I switched from sketchers/Nike to brooks no more feet pain.
    Incredibly expensive but worth every penny ladies. They are cute like sketchers lol

    I just asked my neuro if I should get a wheelchair. He said don't do it- he's afraid I will see how much easier it really would be and that I will depend on it. I told him I'm being left behind and can't do activities with my family. Then he suggested ampyra. I heard ampyra is life changing for 50% of the people who try it and the other 50% it doesn't help at all

  18. Amazing video- thank you so much. Newly diagnosed & on Kisempta. Doing well & I keep my muscles strong…road bike, yoga & stretching. One topic might be do you see a cure in this century for MS? Seems like there's been huge strides…

  19. Thank you Doc for sharing your knowledge! I’ve worried that I started on a rolling walker too early. I enjoy every morning in a local park using my walker.
