(2/2)If your balance and ability to move your body weight isn't ideal, your walking is going to feel more challenging. Practicing this movement as an exercise can make walking feel more balanced.

It's a good historical moment to reflect on the fact that M.S. was commonly called a "hysterical paralysis" conversion disorder until neuroimaging made it possible to see the lesions.

Turns out the @bemorewithless #project333 #minimalist lady has #MultipleSclerosis and I had no idea

As someone who’s chosen not to publicly disclose their diagnosis for fear of workplace #discrimination I get a lot of hope from those who do

Loud cheers for Selma Blair walking the carpet at @VanityFair tonight after opening up about her MS diagnosis. “It took a lot to come out here” https://t.co/QvW8vWjsjN

."This was confirmed with a study in Finland where it was found that the children of women who were deficient in #vitaminD were nearly twice as likely to get #MultipleSclerosis as children whose mothers were not deficient."

[ms MS Australia @msMSaustralia]

What the what?

"More people with MS are born in #spring than autumn...their mothers got less sunshine in #pregnancy & have lower #vitaminD levels, which somehow increases the risk of developing MS later in life for their children."

⬇️How ignorant medical professionals are

⬇️How much their training is lacking in intercultural communication, cultural competence, cultural humility AND history!

You know there are generations of bicultural people as a direct result of colonialism, right?
*shame*

@Oga_DoctorBlue Here where I work
MS generally is a disease of people with European ancestry. Extremely rare to see an African with it. Said as an MD with MS

[The Medical M.A.B. @Oga_DoctorBlue]

Why we need more black men in medicine. I had a patient this week who came in with left leg weakness over the last week. Younger black guy in his 30s. Brain MRI clearly indicates multiple sclerosis. So we all go in during morning rounds to give my man his diagnosis.

[Insight on SBS @insightSBS]

Currently if you have a chronic condition you can get access to five sessions with an exercise physiologist that's covered in part by Medicare. Did you know that? #InsightSBS

Fingers crossed results continue to be positive at the 3 yr mark and beyond!

Researchers reveal that a year after receiving autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for relapse remitting multiple sclerosis, almost all of the patients showed no signs of disease & level of their disability was significantly improved: https://t.co/tag5YUzHOo
