I have just had to accept that I need to give up a well paid job that I loved because of the impact of ms on my cognitive ability. 23 years of working soo hard and it comes to this. Perhaps it’s the new start I need.

I started a job 10 weeks ago running a daycare kitchen thinking I was still capable of everything I used to be able to do. I haven't worked in 3 years. I cant handle it at all. My brain doesn't work like it used to so simple things like following a recipe I really struggle with. And I didn't think i...

I have been terminated from my employer as I could not do the job that I had, as it was test driving cars. I genuinely thought my employer was obliged to give me a part time office as a reasonable adjustment but they are not. Has anyone else had an experience like this?
