diet and find that it suits me well. My partner also likes the diet and said that it makes him feel healthier too. I have joined a local meditation group and we follow Sogyal Rimpoche's Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. It has given me a good grounding in meditation and relaxation. We now have a room dedicated to medication in the home and this helps. I believe that I have not had any more episodes and the neurologist said that he doesn't need to see me anymore unless I am worried about anything. The GP looks after me though I only see him 6 monthly to get repeat scripts. I have been physically active and go to the gym 4 days a week after work. I also go surfing one morning a week all year round. Last year I participated in the WA Big Bike ride from Albany to Perth (900km) with no difficulty and also rode the Otago Rail Trail in New Zealand. Next year we plan to go walking in the Italian Alps. I am fortunate that we have been able to put in 2 dams and now we raise trout so that we have a supply of fresh fish from unpolluted water. I believe that the most important thing that anyone newly diagnosed with MS can do is to attend George's MS course and inform themselves. Then it is easy to make decisions and change to a healthy lifestyle that keeps you well, happy and motivated.
