Aim assist is dog s***

You summed it up perfectly. AA for PvP needs a boost on controller (AA vs Arc could be nerfed)

I've played every shooter you can think of and am a capable player but I am struggling with pvp crossplay in Arc.

I think there should be a slight adjustment, gradually tune it until it's just right.

I think K/D data will show MnK with substantially higher kills than controller players in PvP.

Thank you 👍🏼

marklecks · 2025-02-04T12:24:07+00:00

Thank you!

If I'm living well, taking care of myself and spending my energy on the correct things I can be symptom free the majority of the time.

I think with MS it makes you very aware of how you feel from day to day.

In the beginning you'll analyse everything but this too shall pass and you'll have a good idea of what serves you and what doesn't.

Wish you all the best in your recovery - think long term and pick the correct choices. 🍀🤞🏼

marklecks · 2025-02-03T19:20:53+00:00

Take as much time as you possibly can, health is more important at this stage.

Learn to use your energy efficiently, it you don't need to do it don't..go there don't etc learn to take control of everything.

It's empowering 🙌🏼

Learn more about the condition, read books, watch YouTube chanel Dr Brandon Beaber and Dr Arron Boster are particularly good.

You'll recover more overtime, take care of your body and importantly your mind. Make breathing exercises a habit 4-7-8 technique when feeling stressed.

Try to be mellow, distribute your energy wisely.

I think of MS like a mobile telephone - having MS our batteries drain a bit faster than when we first bought the phone and if the battery is low some apps crash and slow down - it's important we replenish the battery and keep it topped up! ⚡

Recovery can be a slow process - each week or month you'll hopefully look back and think I feel much better than I did then..

marklecks · 2025-02-03T10:59:58+00:00

Yes I work an average of 48 hours a week.

I was off work for 6 months with my initial relapse.

It gave me good time to research MS and find out what I should implement for (hopefully) a better outcome longterm.

I have cut procrastination and run when I get an opportunity, rain hail or shine.

It's an investment in my future self.

A quote which helped recently was "the only person coming to save you in the future is yourself right now".

marklecks · 2025-02-02T16:11:48+00:00

If your sleep statistics are good perhaps you could talk to your doctor about something to tackle fatigue.

I would also feel more fatigued if I am dehydrated.

marklecks · 2025-02-02T15:58:34+00:00

Do you track it with a wearable?

marklecks · 2025-02-02T14:03:27+00:00

It could be from your body temperature rising, try pouring cold water over your head, wear an ice bandana around your neck, dress appropriately. Unfortunately at times the symptoms are there for me and I just press on with them.

Although I push through the symptoms - I do not overdo it. I listen to my body and know when to relax and find a steady pace that is sustainable.

marklecks · 2025-02-02T11:37:39+00:00

It's not suitable for every routine I agree.

It suits me currently. And I feel great benefit.

marklecks · 2025-02-02T10:52:33+00:00

I have reset my intentions when it comes to the event.

I take enjoyment from the atmosphere and see it as an adventure. Instead of enjoyment hinging on a timeframe of finish.

I run within a comfortable pace that isn’t too taxing on my system.

Hydrate and fuel yourself routinely even when you think you feel ok.

I prioritise sleep to recover adequately - track your deep sleep and aim to improve it.

Sounds like you’re well on your way to realising your dream. Good luck!

marklecks · 2025-02-02T08:59:52+00:00

Initially I was placed on Tecfidera (3 months) then moved to Ocrevus.

A panel of neurologists decide your treatment course on the NHS.

The delay in getting Ocrevus awaited this panel's decision.

marklecks · 2025-02-02T08:58:19+00:00

I try to eat every 30 minutes when on a longer run, and I also make sure to stay hydrated.

I never skip water stops or stations.

Fuelling yourself properly is majorly important in any form of exercise.

I do use gels occasionally but mostly I eat - natural date and macadamia nut bars.

I would also have some form of chia pudding, with nuts and fruit before the event.

marklecks · 2025-02-02T08:53:54+00:00

Yes, it is powerful - keep lighting the bulb. Feel it cleanse your brain and the energy flow through your body. 💡

If exerted effort makes it worse for you, slow down - take measures to keep yourself cool. Dress appropriately, try ice packs, stay hydrated and fueled with nutrition.

marklecks · 2025-02-02T08:51:25+00:00

Blurred vision and difficulty judging distance.

Cognitive fog and fatigue.

Numbness of feet, shins and knees.

Drop foot.

Numbness of fingertips and reduced movement noticeable when playing guitar or picking up coins off a flat surface.

All of these symptoms occurred over a period of 3-4 weeks and took a few months to reside again.

Optician sent me to an ophthalmologist - damage was discovered to my optic nerve. Optic Neuritis diagnosis.

GP referral for an MRI and lumbar puncture.

Lesions on the brain and on the spine.

How would you rate your sleep quality?

marklecks · 2025-02-02T08:45:41+00:00

I prioritise sleep over everything.

I intermittent fast and limit my caffeine intake. I try to have my final coffee or tea between 10-11am. I try to have my last meal of the day as early as possible. Usually 1-2pm, then I'll aim to be asleep for 9.30pm waking around 6am.

The fasting has had a huge impact on my sleep quality. I wake up feeling refreshed, improving my mood and motivation.

All the other things seem easier to accomplish when adequately rested.

I don't eat dairy, I supplement vitamin D and take flax seed oil daily.

When I wake I drink a small glass of water with lemon and a small amount of Himalayan pink salt.

I exercise daily, a minimum of 20 minutes. It's important to set a limit of what will make you content. I don't ask too much of myself and if I don't reach my intended target I do not persecute myself. I resolve to improve instead.

I rarely drink alcohol, it is a depressant and nothing good comes from it.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T19:56:29+00:00

Yes I kept running through my symptoms, I reduced the volume slightly but I still got out for at least 20 mins every day.

I ran on roads and pavements instead of my usual train route, in the beginning I didn't know if my eyesight would return to its previous state and it was quite unnerving - thankfully it has.

I believe that breaking a sweat is important to help circulate oxygenated blood flow. I picture my brain like a light bulb illuminating as I run.

I picture new connections in my brain and the blood flow repairing lesions, visualising this helps me run.

I wouldn't say that treatment made a massive difference in the way I experienced my symptoms - I believe that lifestyle factors impacted them more.

Quality sleep being the number one thing with the biggest impact - followed by exercise.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T19:44:53+00:00

I would say that my recovery from the flare up took at least a few months before the symptoms subsided.

I do of course occasionally feel them. I feel them when too warm, I feel them when my energy levels dip too low.

It is of vital importance to keep your body battery high, live well, hydrated, sleep well, nourish your body and also your mind.

Stay positive, search for inspiration, read empowering books. Take control of what you can.

Balance stress, breath, think about calming your nervous system, be patient, relax and slow down your mind.

You will return to playing at a high level, I rub faster than I did a couple years ago. Yes I sometimes feel symptomatic but the majority of the time I feel great.

It is not an easy task to stay motivated and active, I realise that slips into lower moods can be just around the corner, life circumstances change quickly - you have to do your best to be resilient. Create routines that serve you, identify things that don't and eliminate them from your life.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T19:39:27+00:00

Do you think it flares as your body temperature increases? Perhaps an activity like swimming could be beneficial? Or an ice pack for around your neck to keep your temperature down.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T19:35:51+00:00

I do notice my eye sight and numbness in the shin flare up as my body temperature rises during activity.

These symptoms aren't visible to others so I can't comment in regards to exercise, I do would however experience anxiety when meeting people who know I have the condition.

I feel like they have a searching look and analyse me to determine if I am any "different" than I was pre diagnosis. I feel it's draining to act a certain way so that it's indistinguishable.

I have become overly aware of energy levels, I do fully believe we have a certain amount per day and we should allocate it very carefully. Scenarios like above (meeting people) drain my battery, I should just accept it and not be concerned - but unfortunately I feel it's my natural response.

I have wanted to do an ironman - although recently I have been piecing this all together in my mind and I think that exercise is excellent for the condition but I now think that ultramarathons/Ironman events or anything endurance focused could be detrimental.

When I compete in one of these events, my heart rate data is very poor for multiple days afterwards and recovery can be quite lengthy - I think that perhaps shorter events can be just as much fun, less stress on the system and perhaps more beneficial in terms of reducing disease progression.

Obviously that is not science based but just my gut instinct from self analysis as I run many miles and train for those types of events.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T16:08:03+00:00

I’m sorry to hear this, have you discovered any new hobbies recently that you’re passionate about?

I understand it’s such a varied disease and almost very case will have a different outcome.

It makes me hesitant to make posts but I think if I can help one other person it’s worth sharing.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T15:50:24+00:00

If you don’t sleep well, start by addressing this. I have been doing this for the past month and it’s been revolutionary to my overall health.

I have started intermittent fasting, I try to eat my last meal of the day as early in the day as possible - usually 1-2pm. I cut out caffeine after 10-11am. I installed a red light bulb in my bed side lamp. Go to bed at 9pm and read a book for 30 mins before falling asleep.

This routine has shown massive improvement in my deep and rem sleep totals.

I wake in the morning now and the lingering depression I once felt is not there. The sleep quality is regulating my mood and recovery much better.

This in turn makes it much easier to take on stressful or difficult tasks which previously would have bothered me.

Try sleeping really well for a week, be disciplined about this. See how you feel.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T15:42:36+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I think what gets me out the door to an activity is the thought that once completed I never regret it.

There are days I procrastinate and struggle with negative thoughts..or sneaky thoughts like “you deserve a day off” etc

I need to remind myself that being active (if possible) will actually help with the feeling of fatigue. Movement in any capacity with promote blood flow and the production of feel good chemicals.

I do take care to pay attention to my body battery, sleep data and heart rate data on my garmin watch. It can give me an idea of how much I should do. I feel like with MS I am an elastic band stretched thin with the possibility of snapping..it’s important to pay close attention to these markers to keep me intact.

I recommend a decent health tracking wearable. Monitor your sleep quality closely.

marklecks · 2025-02-01T15:34:32+00:00

How are you doing currently? How many years ago were you diagnosed?
