Hi Jim and welcome!

I too think it's fantastic you are researching your wife's condtion, looking

for ways to help. You are not alone in this. There are other supportive

spouses here as well, and tons of information too.

Many have your wife's combination of conditions, so sure a few of them will

reply.

many blessings...gentle hugs to the wife and invite her here as well.

peace and healing,

Ebony
