Do I keep trying or just accept that it’ll get worse?

Hi everyone, I’m stuck between the “do I keep trying to help my mobility even though nothing has worked so far” or “I should just accept it and adapt?” I’m just tired because I feel like nothing I do helps my increasingly worsening mobility. Exercise/PT creates more and much much worse fatigue that will last for days and rest and trying to walk and do what I can doesn’t help either. I’m exhausted and feeling stuck. Any advice? I use a cane and wheelchair both as needed but I’ve needed them increasingly since December. Thanks.

Simar to yourself I find it hard to stay positive all the time. Trying things that are delaying the inevitable. Hear so many people say a big part of this is mindset and positivity but maintaining that 24/7 is a challenge

I definitely hear you. Trying to keep going is super hard. Exercise is my nemesis. I spend a lot of time asleep on the sofa and I have little to no motivation. I guess motivation can help. Perhaps a group activity could be inspiring, or gym membership. Perhaps a home exercise DVD, if you are a home bunny? If you can find your thing that can help you stay motivated 🤷‍♀️ that can be super helpful. Perhaps your MS team could point you to some physio to help you keep your mobility. All the best.
