Being a Caregiver to somebody with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

By Jake Crest, Health Guide Wednesday, April 09, 2008
Caregiver. Maybe you need one. Maybe you are one. This blog is written from the perspective of someone who found himself in the position of making a choice to become a caregiver. It’s to the other caregivers out there to whom I am writing. The rest of you are encouraged to stick around though. ...
The Importance of Patience in Caregiving For a Loved One with MS

Hi Jake:

 

Ahh... the things we do for love.  This is a great post - I surely hope others out there write to say what is happening to them as a caregiver.  Or maybe those with MS should share this with their caregivers.  It is awesome; they should know this is being written for them!  I know it would make a difference for them.

 

Life is short and we never know what is gonna happen aroudn the corner.  Thanks for helping me remember to appreciate what I have - even if there is sacrifice. 

 

All the best, sue

Thank you for posting this. My husband didn't have a choice-although I was dealing with terrible migraines when we first got married, I wasn't diagnosed until we had been married for over 6 years. He's definitely having a difficult time adjusting, as am I, to the new requirements of our homelife and our relationship is suffering quite a bit. I wish that neurologists (actually, all doctors) were able to point both people affected by MS to this site or to you; perhaps it would ease the transition. I have no idea if we are going to be strong enough to deal with MS-I know I have no choice but he does since it's not in him, just related by a piece of paper. It's really hard knowing that.
