Weight training can help patients with multiple sclerosis, according to a new study.

Florida researchers put MS patients on an eight-week supervised resistance-training program. Patients in the study worked on their legs, abdomen and lower back twice a week for 30 minutes. After two months, researchers found the patients had stronger muscles, walked better, and reported less overall fatigue.

Doctors are now expanding the study to include more intensive training.

Latest Stomach Bug

Emergency rooms are trying to keep up with a very contagious stomach virus making the rounds.

If you have the nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever, it will probably last about 12 to 24 hours. For adults, experts suggest ice chips until the vomiting goes away, and for children, a teaspoon of Pedialite every five minutes, or Popsicles.

Once you can tolerate sips of clear fluids, you can add the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.

Of you catch the bug, you should feel better in about a day. But if the vomiting lasts longer, the diarrhea hasn't stopped in three days or if you see blood in the diarrhea or vomiting or more than mild pain, see a doctor.
