Why Do Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms Improve in the Winter?

Exercise has many benefits for MS

Others find that exercise helps improve their quality of life. “Exercise has a lot of benefits for MS, especially for management of fatigue. Patients think that working out will make them more tired, but the opposite is actually true. In addition, when patients have issues with muscle tone, spasticity, and ambulation, exercise will keep muscles limber and preserve strength” said Dr. Gabriel Padro, director of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence. In any case, do a little bit of research yourself about the latest treatments of MS so that you can ask your doctor about them and whether they are suitable for your condition.
