My doctor tells his other patients to try needlework now too.
Good outlook! I too have MS and various other aches and pains, but I keep pushing myself. I can't walk any distance, but I can sew up a storm, and love hand work. My left hand is a bit of a challange, but I just make it work! I made 3 batches of raspberry jelly today, and had to pause between batches, but crocheted a scarf while resting my legs and back. I work daily on my hexigons. Working on 3rd hexy quilt. Keep up the good work. We can do it!!!
