MS and exercise

First time at pool in 18 months; first time in pool in 25 years without my prescription lens goggles.  Im not a swimmer. And Im not a keen exerciser. I have MS. The heat of the pool complex gets me. 6 laps in 35 mins. Lap one had break half way. Lap two made it 2/3s before stopping. Lap three, 3/4s of way. Lap four, no stops. Bursting lungs with 10 meters to go. lap 5 walked. Lap 6 made it halfway.  Lots of stops each end.  My 10am Monday morning commitment with the Otaki MS group for the rest of the year. Todays aftermath. Blurring eyesight and fatigue earlier in day. mmm. Exercise. needs to be done. Isnt enjoyable and it brings on pain.
