Carrie Robinson feared her new mobility issues would mean the end of her performing
A talented singer whose world was the stage feared her love of performing was lost forever when a particularly bad multiple sclerosis relapse left her unable to stand.
She feared her new mobility issues would mean the end of her performing – a dispiriting prospect that took a toll on her mental health. But then she discovered the MS Warrior programme. “My relapses got really bad and I was struggling with walking. I couldn’t really stand up and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to stand on stage and perform.
Carrie, 52, started looking around for support and came across MS Society Scotland’s wellbeing hub, which offers information and online services and sessions to help people with MS manage their mental and physical health and wellbeing. Run by Disability Training in collaboration with MS Society Scotland, MS Warrior aims to increase fitness and strength, and minimise the progression of the condition, through tailored exercise and healthy eating.
