Hi Karen, @MrsOrangetree, and thank you for getting back to me. Apologies if you are grumpy? Good heavens. (a) I saw not a word of grumpiness in your message and (b) if you're feeling grumpy you are surely entitled to and it is perfectly okay by us
You are already a hero in my view.
I ran a quick search, using the search box at the top of the page, and found a few discussions of MS itself in the Disabled People forum https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/disabled-people. Perhaps you could have a look through the links on the coloured part of the screen below and see if there is anything there that you feel might be useful to you?  And are you in contact with the MultipleSclerosisSociety https://www.mssociety.org.uk/? I've had a quick look and they seem to have quite a lot to offer. Not that I'm suggesting you abandon us I'd much rather you stayed if we can help or even if you'd just like someone to be grumpy with
Hope something in there helps
Warmest best wishes,
Richard
