it's ok with me...
i was dx'd with MS in '03. i had an increasingly bad gait disorder, was very fatigued and heat intolerant. i was lucky. i was dx'd in 2 mos. i had to give up a 35yr nursing career. i worked intensive care and spent most of that time in NICU. i was devastated when i finally realized i couldn't cut it anymore. plus i had some cognitive slipping. i really grieved for my job when i emptied out my locker.

i still am able to walk with a cane but my tolerance for sitting, standing and walking is limited. so is my stamina. i'm still very heat intolerant and will get short of breath and almost paralyzed if i get too hot. i just can't put 1 leg in front of the other. there are times i have to go to bed to recover.

i've learned over the yrs to be gentle with myself. i've learned patience. i walk at a snail's pace but i walk. i've learned to pace myself; to conserve energy so i can do something else i want to do.

hope this helps a bit. welcome.
