Many chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, severe osteoarthritis, or neurological diseases can lead to a gradual loss of independence, making everyday tasks like moving around, dressing, or cooking more difficult.
How do you cope with this loss of autonomy? What equipment or services have helped you maintain as much independence as possible?
