Overview

If you have trouble moving around or you get tired easily because of MS, it may help to make some changes in your home. Here are some things you can do.

An occupational or physical therapist can help you make these and other changes to your home. This includes helping you to find ways to make dressing, bathing, and eating easier. Contact the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for other sources of advice and information on adapting your home environment to meet your changing needs.
