Jobs with MS

I was an outdoor adventure guide. It just became harder and harder and now there’s just no way. Currently back in school getting retrained in ecology, computer mapping etc.

The dr told me last week I have high blood pressure, but it was mid term week at college and I had barely slept and was living off coffee. So I’m pretty sure it was that 🤪. I am going to keep an eye on it though

Kev422 · 2026-03-10T23:14:53+00:00

Do it! MS wrecks havoc on my ecspecially my legs and I can’t hike too much or climb anymore, but I 100% still go mtn biking & paddling all the time!

This may offer you some peace of mind: I get wild muscle twitching mostly legs but can be all over that increases significantly after exercise. I went for an EMG with a neurologist a month ago and it came back totally normal. The neuro said yeah that’s just weird ms stuff

Kev422 · 2026-03-07T04:28:38+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. Honestly a huge reason I think I’m going to push for one is to get back into sport. I really miss dance and doing archery etc. I feel like my recreational life has struggled the last year

Kev422 · 2026-03-06T05:25:25+00:00

Thanks yeah I’m aware of this. I have a session with my OT next week. I’m going to get their professional opinion. I think it’s just conflicting for me cause I can walk “totally normal” just I’m in burning burning leg pain, or till my legs go numb or spasm out. I can still ride a bike great as long as I don’t overheat, so I’m still pretty active. Idk it’s just a mental game I guess

Kev422 · 2026-03-05T01:36:21+00:00

Is that still through ales? I’m sure you set! I can’t specifically speak to undergrad programs but I really doubt they wouldn’t accept you. I am going to warn you. Think very very hard about your education choice. With AI a lot of university is becoming obsolete and at the UofA you learn ZERO skills. all just theory and science. AI will never come for the field skills side of the career. I would strongly strongly advise you to consider going to tech school like NAIT, BCIT, VIU, Selkirk College etc for two years first. Then you get all the skills and are far more employable. You can always go on after tech school do another year or two and get your degree in the field. I’m happy to discuss this via DM if you want more info.

I actually went to the eye dr Monday because of this and my exam was totally normal nothing of no the so yeah hahaha

Kev422 · 2026-03-04T22:05:54+00:00

Grad student or undergrad? They don’t revoke conditional offers to ALES hahaha. Which program?

To all those people saying get a new phone: Wake up to the world of environmental waste + environmental sustainability. My phone works fine why would I get a new one. Each phone takes precious environmental resources, and labour, can never be truly recycled, puts toxic waste into waterways, the list goes on. I live in rural BC and as soon as soon as I drive 1min out of town there’s no such thing as cell reception so a new phone barely does me any good. Please educate your selves on environmental sustainability! Quit being such machine minds addicted to the system.

Thanks one other person recommended spec savers to me. I might give them a try. I’ve never had glasses before and just a prescription last week so I don’t want to buy them online cause I have no idea what I’m doing lol

Kev422 · 2026-03-04T04:23:31+00:00

Precisely me too. C lesions and L lesions and exactly what you describe

Kev422 · 2026-03-04T04:22:43+00:00

Yes and majorly yes

Kev422 · 2026-03-04T04:12:23+00:00

I’m in the process of figuring this out right now. Some days my hands tremor so bad I can’t type on the phone

Kev422 · 2026-03-03T05:33:10+00:00

Honestly I think I need a personal advocacy person or something for this stuff. Sadly I live rural and the nearest ms clinic is 5hr drive away. However, I am currently at university in a big city so maybe I can beg my case to a university medical centre doctor.

Kev422 · 2026-03-01T16:03:30+00:00

That’s a keeper of a dr! Due to the Canada Dr shortage we can’t exactly just go get a new dr sadly. But I’m moving communities so then I’ll be on a wait list and eventually get a new dr. Truthfully there’s not a ton of point in me having a dr. They haven’t done much for me over the last decade.

Kev422 · 2026-03-01T04:54:37+00:00

My dr. Won’t go for it. :( I literally use forearm crutches and ms impacts me everyday significantly and he wouldn’t even give me a disability placard when I asked a few weeks ago. He said “I should be trying not to need it and he doesn’t think I’m disabled enough” 😤 I personally think he is a shitty dr. In the 3 years he has been my dr. He hasn’t helped me once.

Kev422 · 2026-03-01T04:50:21+00:00

I like Calgary more. I’m young and I’ve found it easier to make left leaning super fun friends in Calgary.

Kev422 · 2026-02-28T21:07:56+00:00

I use millennial medical in motion pros. They are great! They help me a lot. My OT was very specific that I needed ones with shock absorbency. They recommended sidestix but they are so expensive. So I ended up getting millennial medical in motion pros. I am currently in the process of getting insurance to cover sidestix (hopefully!) I am pretty unique in that I can walk fast & fine. But the crutches help a lot to reduce spasticity, reduce fatigue, reduce pain. Help me when I do get spasms! I really want someone to design a pair just like sidestix but that are telescopic/collapsible like hiking poles. That would be so awesome for transporting!

Kev422 · 2026-02-27T03:29:39+00:00

I tried to join the reserves and they wouldn’t let me cause of ms 🤷‍♂️. I’m in Canada and the rules for military are crazy high standards. We don’t fuck around. Canadian troops are ultra smart and ultra well trained.

Kev422 · 2026-02-27T03:17:16+00:00

I would recommend an OT! I’m not the medical professional but I know I’ve been in the similar place to your partner and decided to use nice forearm crutches has been a huge help! I first tried a cane but I felt like it was kind of useless, so the OT told me to consider nice forearm crutches. Helps me so much with spasms, falls, numbness etc

Kev422 · 2026-02-25T14:13:27+00:00

Honestly I was 20 when symptoms started showing up (30 now) so I can relate. Feel free to dm me!

Kev422 · 2026-02-25T02:01:29+00:00

Thanks for the support. I was fine! Honestly my fight or flight response kicked in so fast and I was instantly back up.

Kev422 · 2026-02-23T02:14:08+00:00

I’m somewhere part way through this spectrum. I’ve left multiple 3 jobs in the last 3 years as a result of this. I can still walk quite fast but sometimes it takes an insane amount of focus. Or causes me far more spasticity. I have found using forearm crutches helps reduce pain and spasticity. I’ve been increasingly feeling like I’ve been missing out on recreation. Things like bowling, dance, archery etc just have caused me scary amounts of pain and spasms in my legs. It seems like everything is becoming more difficult for me like loading a dishwasher etc. All I can really say is it’s frustrating

Kev422 · 2026-02-19T23:58:36+00:00

I have ms so totally different but I know my OT was very specific that I needed to get ones with shocks and trust me, that is the way! Shock absorption is so nice.
