exercise to lose weight

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Joseph, MO

I'm trying to lose the extra 25 pounds I gainef while I was on lyrica.
People keep saying eat right and exercise. But I'm paralyzed from the waist down. How can I possibly lose weight when I cant use my entire bottom haff of my body..Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd speak with your dr. Chair workouts? Do you live near a indoor pool or rec center? Usually they have accessible swim lifts to help a caregiver assist you into the pool. lHope these suggestions are helpful. Best wishes to you & keep up your good work.
