It may seem as if I focus too much on older people's problems |
|
with these posts. However, people with MS are living on into old |
|
age these days, and coping with aging seems to be far more of a |
|
challenge if you also have MS. On the other hand, if you |
|
developed MS when you were younger and have been affected by it |
|
to the point where you are disabled, you may find that you |
|
already know a thing or two about the needs of older people, |
|
just from having to adjust to MS. |
|
For aging people, less medicine is probably always better. If |
|
you can cut down safely on any meds you're taking as you get |
|
older, it's probably wise to do that. Aspirin in particular has |
|
its hazards for older people but there are many other |
|
drugs--most notably, any that affect the nervous system, such as |
|
sedatives. |
