I understand your feelings about life with MS. I myself am living in a country where this disease is very rare. I was diagnosed in 2004 and I do not get any disability benefits. I walk with a cane. But still I think work is very important in a Man's life. It gives you a sense of pride and achievement. I think that raising a family in our condition demands lots of thoughts and planning. Money is already a difficult issue for every one. It is likely to become more difficult with MS and as we get older. I suggest you focus on getting back on your feet financially before embarking into these projects. Hi Michael.

I too was diagnosed in 1996. MS has had a huge impact on my sense of self worth. I had to stop working in 2007 after finally starting to feel good about my career. I get disability, but it barely pays the bills. I stay as active as possible. I can't hike or play sports anymore, but still walk and lift some light weights. I used to be a distance runner. What I really need is a way to make money on the side for financial and mental stability. My fiancee is at her wits end with my memory issues and is hinting about leaving me. I am really lost right now. This is the first time I’ve ever responded to another MS person. I too was diagnosed in 1996. MS has had a huge impact on my sense of self worth.
