Episode Synopsis

Living with multiple sclerosis demands incredible patience and resilience in both the person living with MS and his/her support partner. Symptoms may change from hour to hour, day to day, or month to month. The continuous process of adaptation that the disease requires can be both emotionally and physically exhausting, as one is constantly working to achieve the “new normal.” The demand for adaptation can be particularly challenging during times of “transitions.” These transitions may include disease progression, transitioning to an assistive device, leaving the work force or transitioning to disability, or dealing with worsening fatigue.
