HSCT Non-Responder Life with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis +19 Months through +21 Months

The Hard Truth and Reality I am continuing to FIGHT to stop the disability given to me by progressive multiple sclerosis, but I am losing the battle.  I am not trying to get better.  I am trying not to get worse.  Without stopping disability progression, I cannot entertain the thought of getting better.    I do not walk at all outside of the home unless the distance is extremely short (like a few feet) and I can hold onto my husband.  Inside the home, I can only take between 10-15 steps with a walker.  I can barely lift either leg.  I found out in June 2020 I have permanent nerve damage in my right lower leg and foot.  Both feet drag on the floor and my balance is really bad.  I voluntarily stopped driving in May 2020.  I still can drive, but I cannot do anything by myself out of the car, so there is no point to me bothering with that.  I did get an AFO (ankle foot orthotic) in May 2020 for my right leg, but it only helps a tin...
