What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

Will this MS relapse recover to the point I can return to work or not ?

This is the first time a relapse has me questioning whether or not I will have the ability to return to work ? My fingers struggle to find the keys, use the correct amount of pressure, and in a job where accuracy is number one and my feet feel like sandpaper between my toes…

It’s a dilemma I have read about from others who have faced the same issue, I have been profoundly deaf my whole life and that never stopped me, but a physical disability that affects my hands, feet, legs, arms and even my face is different. I need a med to help me overcome the pain I feel so I can sleep. This in turn requires a med in the morning to help me stay awake and be cognitively functioning. Sleeping is my favourite thing to do, as fatigue is there all the time.

All of the above named issues amongst others may subside but the frustrating part is I have to wait 10 months for an MRI on my spine to see if that is where the damage to my central nervous system started this time ?

Meanwhile I need to find joy in the life I have right now. So I was up and out with my dog at 630…made an instant coffee rather than perked as it takes less energy. There is a chair based fitness class I can go to, and this afternoon a friend and I are going shopping for a bit …but gathering the energy to do all this…is challenging when a nap sounds so good.
