Just making the best of life with MS.🧡
Keep moving and stay active. 💪
You can do more than you think you can. 👊
MS diagnosis since 2005🎗️
Moet je je voorstellen dat je hele blaas vol zit maar het lukt niet om te plassen, door de MS is dit nu al een paar jaar het geval. Vooral in de ochtend als ik opsta moet ik vaak heel nodig plassen zoals de meeste mensen. En nu met de #luja katheters van @coloplastnederland is het een fluitje van een cent.
Ben je benieuwd naar deze katheters? Vraag een proefpakket aan. Link in de bio.

Almost every day
I swim 1000 meters in this fantastic 50-meter outdoor pool. I can’t think of better exercise. In the water, I feel free. Keep moving and stay active people! 🏊♂️💪🧡🎗️
Playing the piano is one of my favorite pastimes when I’m wearing my #exopulsesuit
Door de #ms heb ik al jaren blaas problemen ik kan mijn blaas niet goed legen. Er blijft altijd te veel urine achter in mijn blaas. De uroloog adviseerde mij een aantal jaar geleden om te gaan katheteriseren en met de katheter die ik toen gebruikte had ik regelmatig een blaasontsteking. Ik dacht dat dat er gewoon bij hoorde, maar ik gebruik nu sinds een jaar de #luja #katheter van @coloplastnederland en ik heb sindsdien nog geen één keer een blaas ontsteking gehad. 🙏🧡
Ik raad iedereen deze katheters aan. Ze zijn top. 💪🧡
I’m going swimming again today. Who else is doing something active today? 💪

I swam another 1,200 meters in half an hour today. It was wonderful again. Keep moving and stay active, guys. 💪🧡🎗️

I figured it was about time for another home workout. It had been way too long. 😅
I went for another walk around the block this morning. 600 meters. 💪
That’s all the exercise I’m getting today.
I need to learn to take it easy and not overdo it. A short walk is better than doing nothing. Keep moving and stay active, guys, but know your limits. 🧡🎗️
Great exercise from @themsgym I also have a lot of weakness in my thigh muscles, and if you do these exercises regularly, you’ll strengthen your muscles so you don’t hyperextend your knee or let your knees buckle. Follow @themsgym for more tips. His tips are often very helpful to me.

Hi everyone, 👋
I noticed I’ve got a bunch of new followers 🥰
So I’ll introduce myself again for the newcomers.
My name is Mark, and I was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) in 2005.
It started with a foot drop, and then more and more symptoms gradually appeared. Too many to list right now. 😅
Despite all the challenges that MS brings, I try to stay positive and focus on the things that make me happy.
Focus on the things you can still do instead of the things you can’t, and stay positive. Swimming makes me happy, so I’m in the pool regularly, and that’s good for my body and my mind.
I’m out and about a lot with my sweet dog Tessel, and I’m happily married to my lovely husband @helvsmit
Oh, and that outfit I’m wearing in the photo is the Magic Suit the #exopulsesuit from @ottobock
Now you know a little more about me. 🧡🎗️
This is me in my backyard after hanging up the laundry. I sat down for a bit after hanging it up, but it was too hot in the sun, so I had to go back inside. As you can see, I had to drag myself forward. I could barely walk anymore. Lately, I’ve had the feeling that the progression of my primary “progressive” multiple sclerosis is getting worse. It probably also has something to do with the 2 km I swam yesterday and the heat. 😅
