Welcome to our little corner of the world...

DH and I went to a workshop for MS patients and caregivers. The moderator brought up the point that the caregiver/spouse secretly wishes, as we do on some days, that this "was over with". when DH shook his head in agreement, it clued me in on how heavy a burden he is carrying along with me on this crummy journey.

I would also suggest that if you can get a caregiver in occasionally to take some of the burden off of him it would be beneficial...maybe counseling also-for the both of you.

This disease takes a lot out of our quality of life...punch back with every tool that society gives you!!

Keep us up to date...we are a nosey group of people who love to comiserate, support, put our two cents in, and hug...
