Avatar m tn Welcome to the MS forum. I'm sorry to hear about your wife. It sounds like you're really supportive, and it means a great deal to someone going through this.

He helps me with the housework, giving me my daily injections, is an active participant and advocate when I go to the doctor, and is understanding when I'm not feeling well.
