MSA and Summer

The last four days I wouldn’t really be well. If you have a neurological disease, the heat isn’t really good for you. You have considerably less reserves, you get tired more quickly and the heat doesn’t make you feel good either!

Walking is more difficult for me, because I have a constant tendency to spin forward. On the one hand, I tilt forward while sitting, and on the walker I absorb so much push that at the moment I am almost only on my way with my brakes on. Which is of course more exhausting.

The muscles are stiff and painful, especially in the back! I spend my free time lying on my stomach. The therapeutic sand couch, which is supposed to relax the muscles with the warmth (45°), is a circulatory stimulant and was directly exchanged for a cool compress for the knee.
