Do any of you know if there are any opportunities for work that may be more suitable for someone with MS? I think my MS is deteriorating like concentration, fatigue, stress and I am not meeting the expectations of the employer. I would appreciate anyone who can help, thanks

I’m highly independent(pre MS Deterioration) I’ve always made my own money and I’m happy to do so, so I can’t help but feel anxious and wor...
