How do you deal with this?

I live with my sister, but she’s planning to move out soon. I’m wondering if it’s completely safe for someone with MS to live alone. Lately, I’ve been experiencing worse period pain, the MS hug, and other symptoms. Should I make sure someone is available to help me if needed? Any advice!??

You can retain your independence can you walk. I have the same issues but I believe me being able to walk is what allows me to live alone

I live on my own, my wife died almost 5 years ago. I do get visitors occasionally and I have a friend in my street that helps me a bit, it’s good to have your independence. I also have a life line for back up. I’ve got use to living like this now and wouldn’t change anything. I have 2 small dogs and a parrot for company. So I’ve never felt lonely, good luck and hang in there, as things always work out in the end. Ps - I wouldn’t be without my lifeline though as I feel that any help if I need it is only a press of a button.
