    Hi @nikki6, nice to meet you!

    I've moved your post into our Parents and Carers category, so that others in similar situations may be more likely to see it: you might also like to have a read through past discussions yourself. The MS Society also has a great resource on coping when somebody close to you has MS, in case you haven't seen it already. 

    Let us know if we can be of any assistance and hope you have a lovely day!

How long have you been a carer? I hope you're claimed all the benefits your entitled to especially p.I. p n carers allowance.I wish you all the best for the future.Us women are strong though so I know you will be o.k and thanks for sharing your story as it helps to know we're not alone.
