During a flare I can't do much, but otherwise, I haven't changed anything in my daily life. I still do the things about the house, and my hobbies, and everything... How hard can it get if you have to give up some of your activities??

Unfortunately my life's changed ... gone from a really active person who couldn't sit on her bum to a less energetic bundle of a person, constantly having to have rest periods throughout the day so I can last from morning till night without overdoing things. My writing is messy, legs won't do long walks, and my energy levels plummet too quickly! Hey ho the joys of my ms

I think my RR has probably changed to secondary progressive. Haven’t had a relapse for a while but am definitely not recovering. I can’t (dare not) go out on my own in case I can’t reach my destination. I try to stay active but it is complicated

My wife has relapsing remitting secondary progressive MS. She was originally diagnosed with relapsing remitting in 2007 but re diagnosed 3 years ago.
she has gone from being able to walk and work To now being in an electric wheelchair needing help to do every aspect of personal care from me. She can’t work so I’m looking after the day to day running of the house, put children and working and caring for her.
She is finding everything a huge challenge and has new symptoms most weeks.
The boredom of everyday and the frustration of not being able to help do everyday chores oand having to ask for help to do things like have her leg moved from one position to another is soul destroying to her.
and the worse part is she’s not for dmts now due to nice guidelines stating she must be able to walk ten metres so she just feels she’s left in the corner by

My relapsing remitting MS changed to secondary progressive a few years back now. I can’t use my dominant hand anymore or feel my fingers. I no longer do housework all the laundry (I have to pay people to do these tasks ) I can no longer read properly, as I cannot concentrate but I stay upbeat, because at least I woke up this morning.

I'm always afraid of a major relapse. Touch wood, for the moment I'm in remission except for the fatigue which has never completely gone away. Sometimes, its terrible to try to get out of bed.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to ask you how you've been coping with your everyday life since the MS diagnosis?
What has changed? Or is it just the same, save for the times you have flare-ups?
Are there any daily tasks you do no longer or you do less due to your MS? Like cleaning the house, doing hobbies, going shopping, leisure time, family gatherings and events, playing with your children or grandchildren?
Thank you all for sharing your experience and being there for one another!
