Smile Caregiver with MS
Hi everyone!

My name is Joelle. I have relapsing remitting ms. My 16 year old son, Jake, has had Crohn's Disease since he was 6 years old.

I'm a caregiver and a patient!

Thank goodness for my husband of 21 years and my 20 year old son. I don't know what I would do without them.

Life is tough sometimes but we are tougher.

Joelle, we are here with you. I don't know how you do it girl. Tammy is also a caregiver who is sick and takes care of her husband. God bless you both. It makes me appreciate that I am in good health.

You are right, we are tougher than what is thrown at us. And if not, we have each other to grab onto.

Hey you two.

I use to be a care giver to a terminally ill friend. It can be challenging and rewarding. It does help to have support too. Hugs to both of you.

Joelle...It must be hard for you...I do know that I must have help from someone who I can't see. There have been times when I have had to lift my honey up off the floor and I know there is know way I can do that by myself...this is the best place for all of us to care for each other...
