Just got my diagnosis this week, and right now I'm moving from doom to motivation... keep going!

It's so great that you're doing these videos all week

[@ladymanlover]

Thank you so much for this. I'm determined to get better and back into fitness because of you :)

Love this! My husband is huge on fitness and always tries to get me to go running with him, but I can never keep up and it definitely frustrates him (and me)... but it's so hard when your legs literally feel like lead (also, mine start burning sometimes after awhile). His solution was to get us a dog... so now I have an actual reason to get up and walk every day 😂

Thank you I ordered by TRX bar can't wait to get started

The best way to describe it to normal people. It's like drinking the most alcohol you ever have lol and that's what it feels like to have legs being under attack by M.S. or if you have sat on your foot to the point of being numb but you can still move it. Then the pins and needles thro out the legs too. You're a trooper, keep going

[@mattz5275]

All because of Lemtrada and a positive attitude. Keep going I'm on the same path 8 months post round 1 knock wood I'm crushing this disease. Feeling great to be honest. Keep at it we've got this! 🤗👌🏻

Oh my god...hearing you describe how your legs felt after your relapse resonates massively with me. My legs failing me was my 2nd relapse and what lead to my diagnosis. At the time and to this day I was always describe it as my legs went numb from my waist down (but it started in my toes and worked its way up). While I wasn’t paralysed walking felt pretty bizarre like you say I could feel every little change in the ground. I couldn’t wear shoes or even trainers (it ‘hurt’), my balance was none existent and as it got worse I couldn’t feel where my legs were in relation to the ground. It was all so so strange and bizarre feeling. Wish I’d seen a video like this at the time (this was feb/March/April 2016). But would you believe through it all I still went to work daily (2 yrs on and I look back and wonder how) but at least I was up and moving, my biggest concern was that they would stop completely. Thank you for making these videos...even though I’m not so newly diagnosed anymore it really helps watching videos like these.

Izzy thank you so much for your videos. They have really reminded me to stay positive and made me feel less alone. Are you based in London?

[@marciaquinby5151]

You are awesome :)

[@florindalucero3236]

Lemtrada has such massive risks of cancers and such, why did you choose it?

[@IzzyMS]

The alternative was to have aggressive relapses again and again

[@agnesmccall9384]

Did MS affect your hands at all?

[@IzzyMS]

Yep... I couldn't use my left hand at all and lost fine motor skills with my right hand such as writing, applying makeup etc
