Anyone have MS, or experience training someone who does?

Hi!

I'm 36 and I have about 70-90lbs to lose. I've had relapsing multiple sclerosis since I was 21. I'm currently considered "stable" (somewhat rare, so I'm very lucky) but still have a few lasting effects from previous disease activity, the main three of which are: 1. lots of weight put on during about 7 years when I was having somewhat frequent steroid treatments, 2. random and very sudden bouts of total exhaustion, and 3. problems tolerating increases in body temperature, the second two of which sometimes make me have to drastically reduce the intensity of my workouts, or even end them for the day. I also fear that the steroids may have had a lasting effect on my metabolism, but I know that may be as much (or more) to do with the weight gain.

If there's anyone around who has dealt with this, I'd really appreciate any tips, suggestions, or encouragement you have to offer!
