If you have progressive MS, think twice. We spent a fortune on daughters hand controls, car and lessons. Controls were easy for me to learn, but miserable for Cheryl. Her MS got in the way, 6 months later she was physically unable to use any of it. We SURE could have used thet money on the next bunch of things we needed, then the next bunch. Progressive MS is not the same disease in SO many ways as R & R. Neither one is worse they both ROT. But ask your therapist how long you might be able to use them. If it's a decent amount time... I have this philosophy DO, Learn, Think, Love, live your LIfe as Hard as as thorouhly as you can while you can!!!
Sorry to be so, little help, but I wish you well.
