Hi and welcome, @matthew_allen, Sorry to hear about your troubles, but remember, when you're down, the only way to go is up! I too was a professional chef, but I had 1 too many accidents and retrained in bookkeeping 14 years ago and now work as a payroll administrator, 4 days a week. I'm RRMS, diagnosed Déc 2017 and it's an uphill learning curve, after being constantly under pressure to deliver food on time, up to standard, art on a plate and then payroll deadlines for people to be paid correctly and on time, to kick down 2 or 3 gears to reduce stress and lessen it's impact on my MS! I take great solace from reading all the posts on shift and also Slack through the Living Well with MS programme from the MS Society and keeping in touch with people who are in the same boat, as it keeps me from feeling isolated. Chin up! Vivien xxxx 🤗

Thanks Vivien, New docs on Friday to try and kick start something, proper support and advice and some form of benefit would be nice. My neurologist I’ve seen for 4 years hasn’t even given me a leaflet to explain what’s happening to me, had to google everything, pretty scary stuff, damaging way to learn. And you are right, the only way is up from here! #zeronegativity
