Danyeil, Just wanted to mention that it's nice to hear of someone's family really trying to understand what the person with PPMS in their family is going through! My fiance has no idea! He gripes because I sleep so much & I move so slowly! He told me that my back might not hurt so much if I would stand & walk upright! I AGREE! The problem is, I'm not hunched over because of the pain! It's because of the muscle spasms! Sometimes my lower back & hamstrings lock up as tight as they can & NOTHING will make them loosen up. I LITERALLY CAN NOT stand up straight! He has type 1 diabetes, so he's not as sympathetic as a healthy person would be, I guess!
