Default Seeking help as caregiver for husband

I'm Janet (73) and care for my 78 year old husband. My husband was diagnosed in mid-07 with MG. It isn't his only ailment, but is the one giving him the most problems right now. Breathing problems are the most worrisome for me. He has a meter to gauge how bad it is and has been borderline quite often lately.

Dizziness has also been a big problem lately. Three weeks ago he fell. Because he also has Meylodysplasia and is in stage 4 of kidney failure I can't be sure which is the cause of the dizziness.

Gordon takes his Mestinon (60 mg) regularly, every 4 hours while he is awake. Because of back problems he is on pain meds also. He is also diabetic with HBP and takes Lasix for unstable blood pressure.

All this is pretty confusing and I probably missed mentioning a few things.
Any advice for me?
