Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've logged in as I've been travelling in Italy with my family, and am now doing a trip on my own in Ireland/Scotland. Just got to Dublin today and feeling a bit overwhelmed.. Could really use some fellow MSer support to be honest. I'm sort of just realizing how much my MS can hold me back in this kind of situation... Italy was hard. The heat was unbearable (38 degrees at some points) and I now know how much it affects me. I was lucky to be with my family who are understanding but I still wanted to feel like could keep up, which I really couldn't. Was sort of relieved to be taking the rest of this trip on my own to go at my own pace but so far, not so great. It's only the first day, I know, but I ended up having to leave the original place I was going to stay as it was not as promised on the website and frankly not worth the money, but found a little b&b above a pub in the last minute, which is alright, except it has a ton of stairs. It's only for 2 nights but I just feel like I keep getting knocked down. Basically I'm just sort of realizing how difficult my MS can make things. This is my first big trip since being diagnosed, and I really had high hopes for it. I thought I was being reasonable with my expectations but I'm now just worried I've made a mistake and was just expecting too much. Trying to stay positive that things will get better from here, but having some trouble with it right now.
