It would be interesting to hear from all of you with the tricks you use to be able to overcome the problems MS gives you.

tip #1
My husband built me a pressing board which just fits on my lap (a 12"x12" board that I padded and cut a ironing board cover to fit, stapled on) so I would not have to get up or move from my sewing machine to press. I put the iron on a table that I can reach.
tip #2 If you have problems controlling the footpedal try putting the front of your foot on a brick or thick book and operate footpedal with your heel.
