Hello....

[htenuta]

I am a recent member who has MS. I'm in the middle of a massive flare up and am looking for help as I have become homebound recently. I'm very interested in programs that can help me survive during this time. It is difficult at this time. Even typing is a struggle and the fatigue is overwhelming. I need an assistant or someone to help me around the house. fortunately or unfortunately, I am not at or below the poverty level so I am not able to find any assistance online. A website or phone number that I can reach out to would be a great help.....

Good evening htenuta, it's Fancy1959. Another resource besides the one Jes has offered would be to call the National MS Society act 1 800 fight MS. When you call, they assign a caseworker to you and then they will work with you see what resources they can offer and or what doctors they can help you find in order to better manage your MS.

You’ve already got some great resources from a Fancy and Jes, so I’ll just add a welcome.

I’m sorry you’re going through a flare and hope you can find some help as you get better.

Let us know how you’re doing.

Htenuta: I wish I had an answer, but this a good site to check. I will put you in my prayers 🙏. You will get through this. God' strength and healing.

I hope you feel better soon. Have you reached out to your neuro for some help?

[htenuta]

thanks to all here. I will try to keep you updated but typing is a challenge too. I'm mostly bedridden at this point and finding the strength to get to the computer is rare. Thank god for auto -correct.

Several have asked about seeing my neurologist. I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow. I'll let you know how that goes when I'm able to get back to my computer. Please don't take my slow response as a lack of interest. I have to budget my energy at this time. Thanks for all the help and responses. It is appreciated.

Hello htenuta, I’m Pam. Not sure if you’ll be able to find anything but when a relative of mine needed assistance (she had cancer), she contacted the local Chamber of Commerce and the Office on Aging and they sent her someone to help her. The lady cleaned her home 2x month and picked up some prescriptions for her. Hopefully you’ll be able to find someone that can help You or at least steer you In the right direction. Hope this helps!
