dear caroline, I was diagnosed in 2000 at age 50.  the mayo clinic diagnosed it as ppms in2008. I take vit d b12 and fish oil. I use a walker, a cane and a wheelchair, depending on the situation.  i swim 3x a week for exercise.  I go with my husband on photo assignments.....we try to take short vacations....i like to garden but it's difficult so i use a potting bench and my children to plant flowers....my kids are good about making my bed and I'm good about not complaining about their music!  I do as much as I can....I don''t complain and you'd be surprised at how your children willl respond to you!  Try to do something special for them....they'll remember and perhaps respond in kind.  I wish you happiness.
