Thank you David, and my best wishes to you and your family. When Edie was diagnosed, the Dr. told us, “It’s a devil disease. No known cause, no known treatment, no known cure.” This was right after the MRI came into general use in some hospitals, which was the only way to positively diagnose it. Prior to that, they relied on a collection of symptoms and eliminating other possible diseases. Hell of a way to start out, but we managed, and they have made very significant progress since then.
My mother was officially diagnosed with the MRI when she was 47, but I suspect she always knew what it was because her mother had had it beginning somewhere in the 1920s. My parents have been gone for around two decades, but I wish the docs had known about the vitamin D and several other things that could have made their lives easier.
I'm so sorry to hear that Gus. I know from watching my parents, how hard it is to have a spouse with major medical problems (MS in my mother's case).
