Everything! Turning from the active, energetic and busy individual into a useless, tired and restless corpse! Frequently getting exhausted, relying on my friends' and neighbours' help, being trapped in a lousy body, so on and on and on! I miss my walks, photography sessions as both, hands and legs have given up on me! I lost my independence, have to beg friends to assist and run various errands. I want my life back. I want to go shopping, walking, dancing, travelling and enjoy simple aspects of life. MS is such a cruel, debilitating and horrible monster! I hate it so much!
