Joel Gottlieb's MS Tai Chi Blog
I'd like to put in a good word for Joel Gottlieb's MS Tai Chi Blog, available here. Joel recently posted a comment to one of my posts, Tai Chi and bladder control. That's how I discovered I have a fellow Tai Chi blogger ...... but with an important difference. The difference is that Joel uses Tai Chi to manage his multiple sclerosis (MS).
Joel reports that due to MS he experiences/has:
burning or prickling... without an outside stimulus. Ataxia: inability to coordinate voluntary muscle movements; unsteady movements and staggering gait. Proprioceptive loss of sensation in legs. Neurologically-induced fatigue. Heavy legs.
In short, the nerves in his body do not function as once they did.
Which means that doing Tai Chi is a challenge in a different way to him ... and its benefits are even more important.
Joel has much to tell others who have MS and do (or are considering doing) Tai Chi. He also has a lot to say to us "civilians" who do not have a neurological disorder.
Thank you for your comment, Joel.
