Pets offer numerous benefits for mental and emotional well-being, including reducing stress and anxiety, easing loneliness, and boosting self-esteem, all while providing companionship and a sense of purpose. Tell me about your pets! I have 3 cats, all with completely different personalities. One is always on me, another is jealous when the one is on me, & the other wants nothing to do with me!! Lol

HSCT and cats

Hiya everyone As my MS and general well-being has gotten worse over the last several months, I'm thinking about asking my neuro about getting HSCT. However, the only thing that's been keeping me somewhat sane during the past two years are my three cats. Does anyone know for how long I'd have to isol...
