Everyday Life With MS

Managing the various elements in your life and making some of the big decisions can be daunting for anyone, but when living with MS some decisions have extra considerations.

With the changing nature of MS, managing your health, career, family life and social life can be challenging. While MS may not necessarily prevent you from doing the things you always wanted to do, your health will play a bigger part in the decision making process. Compromise, alterations or different courses of action may need to be assessed when considering career, family, travel or other life events. However, these are not all negative. While some people choose to give up work because of stress others may choose to travel more because they want to make the most of their ability.

The best choices you make will be those that take into consideration your desires and your abilities. Talk to friends, family and professionals before making major decisions and draw from the experience of other people with MS, too.
