Newbie!
Hi everyone, I’m new to Shift, so not quite sure what I’m doing haha, but here goes… I got diagnosed officially about a year ago and yesterday MS beat me! I had to have a day off work too exhausted and numb to get out of bed. I just wanted to know how you keep going when you feel like it’s taking over?! I realise I’m lucky that I can still work and it doesn’t take over all day every day but it feels like one day it might.
@td1989 , MS can be a formidable enemy and demands your respect. You cannot lock horns with MS and expect to win. Being overtired is not a good starting position to live effectively with MS. So, take this as a warning that you need to rest up and allow yourself to recover. With MS, it's OK to lose a battle, as long as you win the war..........
It might be the time to have a closer look at just how you're dividing up your time and using your energy......At work, under disability legislation, employers have to make 'reasonable adjustments'. In my case I was pleasantly surprised at how small changes did make a difference. xx
