Multiple sclerosis is a disease with which you can live everyday during a lifetime.
If you have a small disability or not at all, yours and your family style will not change. However the gained knowledge about the disease and its implications on the long term have a strong impact on the person with MS and others.
Everything depends on the symptoms you have and how you feel. Symptoms may be present permanently or crises can occur from time to time. The seriousness of symptoms may provide clues about how MS will affect your life.
Many people with MS will be forced to plan the activities to a greater extent than in the past and will be forced to change priorities and programs. If fatigue becomes a problem, for example, you will need some rest periods a day so that you can continue working, but at a lower rate.
