something specific?

I was chatting with @freddiems, and we both like the idea of forming some sort of collection of tips and tricks - or MS hacks - that MSers use to manage MS symptoms. We reckon that the best way to do this is to simply just ask Shifters: What do you do? Seeing as the sun has decided to start shinin...

Hi everyone, it's MS Hacks time again. Many MSers are faced with anxiety issues or suffer from Depression, low mood and other emotional obstacles at some point. With Winter on its way, things can just feel a lot heavier if you are unprepared, so I'm after your tips and strategies for dealing with st...

Motivated by the wonderful response to Vol. 1: Beat the Heat, I've been trying to chose a topic for the next set of MS Hacks. There were a few possibilities - and I always welcome more suggestions - but I figured that fatigue seems to affect more of us MSers than any other symptom, so perhaps we cou...

Hi there, Shifters. The theme of the next set of MS hacks is memory and thinking. As I'm sure many of you will have experienced, sometimes MS makes it just that bit more difficult to keep details in your head, keep track of conversations, or think of that oh so witty comeback quickly enough. So, if...

HI everyone. It's been a long time, but MS Hacks is back. This time, I'd like you all to tell me what you would like to see as the next topic. for those of you who don't know it, this feature is a way for us to share tips and lifehacks that we actually use in our own lives to make living with MS ...

HI everyone. It's been a while but, once again, we need your help and tips.This time around, we're talking about work. With relapses, fatigue, cognitive changes and a list of other symptoms that may need to be managed daily, whether you work 9-5 or part-time, working life requires a whole extra to...

Whether you have MS, think you might, or love somebody who does, it's only natural that the constant upheaval and uncertainty can sometimes feel like a bit too much. Just as we (try to) take care of our bodies, it is important that we do what we can to keep our minds in a better position to deal wi...

Hey, guys. I'm going to keep this broad for now but reckon it'll get broken down into categories later. Many of us will have varying degrees of disability - I have foot-drop and mobility issues, my hands become useless when cold, etc - so I suspect we are a treasure trove of tips and tricks for man...

So, a few weeks ago I asked you all for your tips for dealing with the heat. There a lot of really great responses and, with a lot of work and support from @Freddiems and @Rosie.Mossey, the seed of an idea that I had began to sprout and grow into something. If you all run over to the magazine sectio...

Hey all! I hadn't honestly experienced 'real' MSfatigue until really recently. Some context: I'm a secondary school teacher and I went from part time to full time in January which, on reflection, was a stupid idea. At first I was putting the fatigue down to this but I've been off for a week and a h...
