Hi, my name is Emma and I’ve had MS for 27 years. I’m 46 and am now completely wheelchair bound and rely on my mum for help. Life is really getting me down and I’m trying to reach out for someone who understands. Thanks

Hi Emma  
Amazed that you’ve held out this long! You must have very broad shoulders but no reason why you should do it alone. Fortunately, there are many wheelchair-bound folks on here with whom you can share experiences and commiserate. A problem shared etc.
