Members rallied around someone managing both RRMS and type 2 diabetes while struggling to keep up with daily tasks at home. Several members offered gentle encouragement, suggesting taking breaks, pacing activities to preserve energy, and building stamina through resistance exercises or physical therapy. A recurring theme was emotional solidarity, with many expressing warm wishes and reminding the original poster to simply do what they can without pushing too hard.

In France, if a company performs work, such as mowing your lawn, you receive a 50% tax credit on the amount paid. I don't know about the United States. The main advantage is having more free time.

Control your inflammation, like keep putting that fire out on the inside and keep putting it out

Just do what you can. Take breaks. Put some music on. Have a cup of coffee. Build your stamina with resistance exercises. You can go to PT or do it at home. You got this Shannon. 🙏

It sounds like you're dealing with a lot — fatigue from RRMS combined with blood sugar drops can really make even simple tasks feel exhausting. That's a tough combination, and it makes complete sense that you can't keep going for long.

It sounds like you're dealing with a lot — fatigue from RRMS combined with blood sugar drops can really make even simple tasks feel exhausting. That's a tough combination, and it makes complete sense that you can't keep going for long.

Fatigue affects about 80% of people with MS, so you are definitely not alone in this struggle. When blood sugar drops low, it can cause weakness and dizziness, which on top of MS fatigue makes physical activity even harder. A few things that might help when doing work around the house:

- Break tasks into very small chunks with rest breaks in between
- Keep a snack nearby to help stabilize your blood sugar before and during activity
- Avoid skipping meals before doing physical tasks
- Stay cool — heat can make MS symptoms worse
- Listen to your body and stop before you feel completely drained

It's really important to talk to your doctor about how often your blood sugar is dropping, especially when you're being physically active. They may be able to adjust your management plan to help keep your levels more stable during activity.
