Hello Lynne, you have joined a good site - welcome. I am lucky that I have a very supportive and wonderful husband, my daughters have their own families now but we see them regularly, but I do miss them when they go back home after a weekend with us. Life is hard and difficult, but on this site I have realized there are many worse off than me, it seems that exercise, good attitude, good diet, family support, taking medication as prescribed - and all the tips and advice from this site! - are essential in keeping this awful illness at bay.
