Short Bio |
Iam my husbands care giver and have been doing this since 2000. He was formally diagnosed 6 years ago and has become progressively more disabled over time. I am a retired register nurse and I thought I knew something about this disease but am learning every day as medications have progressed over the years. Iam putting my husband in respite for 2weeks soon and I keep feeling guilty even thoug logically I know I have to do this so I can continue to look after him.
