We are moving house at the end of this month as I can no longer cope where we are - we live in a 4th floor flat and I have to climb 4-5 (depending on the entrance) flights of stairs to get to my own front door. It just exhausts me and is dangerous. We have found a nice little place just down the road form here to go to. It is going to cost a little more though.
Sin my relapse on 08-08 I have gotten much better - the skin numbness is (mostly) receding, my legs are less weak (but still not fab). I am still in the grips of an MS hug that's been around a few weeks now and my hands have started going numb!
The local MS nurses are running a course called 'getting to grips with MS' that I am going on later this month. I'm hoping to pick up some helpful info. |

This is just great for you! It should make a big difference in your fatigue from climbing stairs. I am glad you found something because there are not a lot of places in England without stairs.

Good luck with the move Mrs George. Gwa is right - it will really help your fatigue. We have also been looking at moving but we can't quite afford it - perhaps next year. I would also love a bungalow, stairs are such an extra drain on a small reserve that you could do without.
Best of luck with the course, and hope the "hug" goes soon. |

is not a bungalow - is a small house but with only one small flight of stairs - a LOT less than I have to face now!
I'm just wondering how I'll get the energy to pack, move & unpack! |

I would have been hard pressed to go up 4 flights of stairs even before I was sick, so you must be a miracle woman to tackle such a task. The smaller staircase will help you tremendously. At least your husband can just drag you up them if you can't make it!
You need to transform into a supervisor and tell others how to pack, move and unpack!

no transformation needed gwa - I'm nothing if not a bossy cow! I am offering cake and pimms as a bribe - pizza is a good thought though!
I will probably have to pack everything but I can do that sitting on my bum!
OMG 3 weeks until I am free of those evil stairs! |

seriously? You guys are utterly and totally deprived!
Pimms is a drink - nicely alcoholic that you mix with lemonade, fresh strawberries & mint. It is lush! And very English!

 OOOHHH who said PIMMS?
Im with you on that MrsGeorge!
It bucketed rain all day today in Dublin but a nice cool glass of Pimms would have gone down a treat. Must remind myself to buy a bottle sometime for summer memories. |

Ha! |

 I thought that was co-incidental too! Lew happened to mention that you also lived in Ohio but I wasn't sure which part, but I guess that link at least shows that it's available.
Now I'm trying to determine if I can get it in Michigan, but I'll just check the Meijer's booze department next time I'm there.
