In the last several years my MS has certainly worsened. Constant spinal pain, all of my spine, but especially cervical and lumbar. I cannot concentrate well at all anymore I spend my life confined at home, walking in circles, sitting uncomfortably or walking in the same state. I rarely take my small dog out myself. Yes, it certainly can consume one’s life. I try to read, bake ( at a low table, while seated on the floor cushion–I keep trying to be positive and to associate with positive folks online. It helps!
