Then you rely on GOD to be your strength, and you rely on HIM to help you. 
Last year when I had a herniated disk and sciatica in my left leg, I was in the most agonizing, crippling pain imaginable. I could not move at all with my own strength. My ONLY physical relief came when I was laying down and not moving. Whenever I had to pee, I had 2 choices, lay in bed and pee myself so I wouldn't have to endure the agony of getting up, OR call on God to help me get up. I'm proud to say I never once peed the bed, and ALWAYS made it to the bathroom in time.
I am all alone here at home, I only had my cat here to comfort me during all that. Now I don't even have her, because she went to meet Jesus in March. No one came here to help me do stuff, such as dishes or taking out my trash. I had to bear the agony of doing it myself, HOPING I wouldn't collapse until I was back in the house. I would always say "Lord please get me to the dumpster/mailbox/wherever in one piece". And sure enough, despite the hellish agony, He always got me home without collapsing.
I don't know much about MS, or what your situation is Robby. I DO know for sure that a positive attitude, and reliance on God WILL get you through it all. If it didn't, I wouldn't be alive today and that's a fact. Your situation is what you make of it, and how you use it to glorify God. May I suggest you read the threads in my signature?

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
What an amazing passage. The creation did not recognize its creator. This is still true today. Even with the miracle of the resurrection, we still question whether Jesus was all that He said He was. Realize that the Bible states that doubt is not a result of intellectual questions, but of a spiritual condition. We can have all the evidence in the world, but still not recognize God in front of us. It is when we are willing to humble ourselves that the life of God impacts us. The path is narrow and few are those who find it, but it is when we look more to our heart than our mind that we will recognize the One who made the world and came to redeem it.– John 1:10 (NIV)
