Gather your party and Roll for Initiative

Multiple Sclerosis features a series of problems, many of which doctors, nurses, specialists, therapists, can help us to solve. If my leg strength is weak then my physio will help me to strengthen it.

My relationship with my hands is generally a bit uneasy. I use them to eat, to dress myself, to catheterise, to cook and clean. I’m using them right now to type! I find that I use my hands for almost everything I do short of walking, and now I use a manual wheelchair, I use them for that, too.

In my gender transition I’ve been pretty extremely fortunate. When I first stepped outside wearing a skirt, it was a long flowing almost pleated black thing over long black patent boots (I know, I know..), I was pretty afraid of being shouted at or attacked. OK I was genuinely terrified.
