MS patient switching from architecture to PA or medical Illustrator - advice?

[MFrae]

I know these are vastly different fields - can anyone share their personal experiences as either an MS patient working in healthcare or observing individuals who have been diagnosed? I was dx with Multiple Sclerosis 5 years ago with no flare-ups or readily noticeable symptoms since, my first flare up 11 years ago. I am very interested in assisting those with chronic diseases and MS, but am uncertain wither this is a viable option given the unpredictable nature of the diesase.

Hi and welcome,

Unfortunately because of MS being unique to the individual what works for one person may not work for another, all the people i know of that were employed in the medical fields are no longer in the work force but careers with part time or flexible work schedule options seem to work best with managing the physical and cognitive fatigue...

Sorry i couldn't be of more help.....JJ
