Plus it's good for the kids to know they aren't the only ones either. When they found out they had a great chat about how tired their moms always are and about how we both always say the same thing which is "I'm not in the mood" when they ask us to play/act up/look for us to do something.
(although I'm not sure that's the MS as much as it is the daily grind of putting up with pre-teens!)

Dont think i posted this up. Has anyone been to these meetings?

I was at the one last month and it was great. Its run by Emma Rogan who works with the MS Society i believe. Also,up in the MS centre in Terenure they are running Yoga on Wednesdays or Thursdays and Physio is friday mornings. I plan on heading to the yoga on Wednesday.

Has anyone tried Yoga to help with the MS???

Had my appointment on Wednesday have 2 new lesions On my brain MRI from my last one. Does anyone know how many lesions they have or the difference between scans. All in all they are happy with few changes were made but nothing to different.

Discobeaker, I keep meaning to try and get to an MS society meeting in my area but they're all during weekdays and I work fulltime so the times don't suit.

Outnumbered, I have only had one brain and spine MRI, taken back in September last year. I had two lesions on my spine and a speck of one on my brain.
I don't know when I'll get another MRI. I have my first repeat neuro appointment in July.

Outnumbered82 my limited understanding of ms leads me to believe that it's generally not how many lesions you have rather where they appear. So you could have 50 and nothing or you could have one in a vital location and have it affect you.

Hey Ash23

The meetings that Emma runs are on a saturday,usually from 2.30 till 4 or so.
Its just a coffee and a chat in the IFI. Its usually 1 meeting a month. Not sure when the next one is but if you sign up to that meet up link i posted then it will send you an email everytime there is a meet up planned

Did my first yoga session in the MS centre in Terenure on wednesday morning,my god..... muscles that have lay dormant in me for years finally got used

Its 50 euro for either 8 or 10 sessions so its really cheap

[tatumkelly]

Where are the classes in Terenure? Do you need to prebook?

I'm quite fit, and keep very active but find stiffness creeps up on me very easily so wouldn't mind giving it a go....

[discobeaker]

Its in the MS centre. 65 Bushy Park Road. They do physio on a fridays aswell i think but i havent been to that.

I just showed up to the yoga on wednesday and signed up after i took the class.
Someone told me its called "Chair Yoga" so you do it all sitting down or if your in a wheelchair you can still do it. I think it was about 1 hour 15 mins for the class.
I enjoyed it and the lady doing it was lovely.

Its not on next week due to it being a bank holiday but its on the following wednesday at 11AM. It might also be on a thursday afternoon/evening too but i'm not too sure of that

This looks like a very good event being run by MS Ireland next weekend. I am going to travel up from the "west" for the weekend.

As my diagnosis is relatively new, I reckon some positive stories is what I need to hear
