Research Study

So last Friday, I participated in a research study at the University of Illinois. This time there was a preliminary round. I did some weird exercises both physically and cognitively. I am sure I failed the one portion with numbers and answering in a pattern (long story) not because of the MS but because it was crazy. haha. I also had to put on this mask thing with cords all over hooked up to what looked like a ticking time bomb on my chest. Wish we had  picture of that haha. I am now wearing an accelerometer for the next 7 days. The point of this study is to see how much movement those with MS do in a day. It is also to see the advantages of activity can help those with MS. I am so excited to be part of a study that can hopefully help those with MS. I go back in the spring for a workout based on the preliminary rounds have calculated. So, to be continued. It is a year round study so we shall see. I will do anything and everything I can to make this disease more control-able for those who have to fight this disease. Thank you to all for your support!!!!
