Caring for Yourself
When your symptoms are under control, discuss a suitable activity plan with your health-care team. Regular, moderate physical activity may help with fatigue, muscle strength, flexibility, stamina and general wellbeing.
Movement and daily life
A plan may include range-of-motion exercises, strength work and aerobic activity adapted to your needs. Activities such as walking, swimming or cycling may be options when they are safe and comfortable for you.
Food and self-management
A balanced diet supports overall health. No single diet should replace medical care or prescribed treatment. Talk with your clinician before making major changes, especially if you have other health conditions or take medication.
Learning about your condition, asking questions and involving trusted family members can help you take an active role in self-management.
