Alisden, you have a busy life. My husband has SPMS. I also have my 86 year old Mom living with us…and of course my own challenges.

I attend my hubby’s MS support group…I’m the only caregiver. It is interesting to hear others experience with MS.

I really think it is a great idea to start a group…it would be respite, which is something that is hard to come by when you are a fulltime caregiver.

Run some ideas past me and maybe I could help in any way I can.

We caregivers have to stick together! Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!
