Absolutely, exercise: Years ago, self-appointed all-knowing "experts" declared exercise "off-limits" for ms patients. We now know better, as aerobic exercise has a mild immune suppressant effect and not only enhances fitness and general well-being, but also improves ms quality of life. Just remember to pace yourself and if you get overheated take time out to cool down, but do not become inactive ever.
