I’m assuming you mean exacerbation — but then, it is also exasperating! If you can’t afford paying someone to clean, is there anything you can barter? Also – some people just have the cleaner do the heavy stuff to cut down on costs.

But no matter how you do it, it’s hard to say you’re tired or don’t feel well when you look fine. Keep practicing, though.

I know exactly how you feel! What’s even more painful for me is that people assume because of my optimistic cheerful attitude that I’m being lazy when I stop or take a break because of the fatigue I’m experiencing. Great idea! I’m going to begin to hire someone to come into my household once a month to help me clean.

Nobody has a clue how truly exhausting the holidays are I just silently struggle and push praying that I don’t have an exasperation.

Robin – It does all depend on what your circumstance is. It seems like cooking doesn’t lead to success for you at all. I hope Thanksgiving felt like you had made good decisions for you.

The secret to cooking successfully with MS is in this blog, having someone to help get things (I cannot grocery shop and cook same day, too exhausted) and hiring help for the cleanup (didn’t know this was possible?). When I cook, my pans sit for days in the sink until I have the energy to scrub them and lift them to do so. My dishes go immediately into the diswasher, though and my wine glasses get washed by hand in fear left to sit dirty, they might be knocked over and break. It is so frustrating to LOVE to cook as I do and no longer have help in the kitchen to not make it an exhausting task. Single people eat out for a reason….Happy Thanksgiving
