I also have MS and for the most part I'm doing well considering. As long as I'm in remission I do fine but when I have episodes life is a bit rough.
What I get most stressed out when I have an episode is having very little mobility from the waist and in my legs.
I can so relate to this and gave me a great chuckle.
Fortunately the sewing/quilting machine I use I don't have to use the foot pedal and just push the button to get it going.
