    Yes, most tasks have gotten harder. Anything that involves being on my feet more than 5-10 minutes wears me out fast, so that affects cooking, most aspects of cleaning, exercise, yard work, physical play…

    Showering happens every second day rather than daily, and almost always in the evenings because it’s too exhausting to pull off before work. I’ve used a shower chair for the past five years (even pre-diagnosis) because of poor balance while showering. On weekends if I’m not going anywhere, I don’t even change out of my jammies, let alone shower!

    Mono at 18, MS symptoms first noticed in mid 20s. I believe there’s a connection between EB virus and the onset of MS.
