Well, in our case, me missus went from TM to an MS dx in less than two years
and that was over 10 years ago.
As her caregiver, I can't feel her pain but as Sandy says, I can understand
what she goes thru, and also sympathize and most of all, make sure that all, or
most, of her needs are met.
Hey hey for the caregiver...! Me noes what it takes...;>) (Yep,
lotsa tequila as well ;>);>).
All is well here as well, as 'SheWhoMustBeObeyed' is on a steady course, after
374 Avonex injections (I shudder to think of the retail cost of all this ;>).
