I am a 58 year old triathlete that was just diagnosed with relapsing/remitting MS. I am looking to talk off line with other triathletes who have MS. Here are my symptoms:
Full body spasms (now under control with medication)
Some numbness in toes and feet
Tightness in legs
Sweat rate reduced
Went from training 15 hours a week to zero (while getting spasms under control). After a month of no training, I am now up to daily walking 40 minutes in morning, riding on trainer (very easy) 20 minutes, and doing upper body resistance work with bands, as well as lower body stretching. My goal is to increase slightly each week depending on how I feel.
Is there anyone out there that has MS and has had similar symptoms? I am trying to navigate my new normal. My MS clinic does not have any endurance athletes I can talk to. Since I am new to posting to forum, not sure how to get private messages.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
