tyoga

hi, joe!
i just started bikram yoga five months ago, and i’ve been diagnosed with ms for 19 years. here’s the deal, as far as i can tell so far: 1. checked with my neurologist first (very important); 2. early on in the diagnosis, i did find that i would get some symptom flares, when in hot weather, or in hot baths. sometimes that meant a limb feeling numb, and sometimes that meant my vision temporarily going down in the eye i’d had optic neuritis in. sometimes, still, if i have a fever, i get a little flarey. however, i have not had overt ms reactions to heat in many years, and i have not noticed them at all in class (and i’ve done two 30 day challenges). if you take interferon (which i do), it’s ENORMOUSLY helpful with dealing with side effects, especially if you take a class and a shot in the morning, and then a class the next day in the morning.
