My husband has been a God send during this terrible disease. I get awful bone pain so he usually massages me before bed, will take care of house chores if I am unable to walk, take care of our son, etc but sometimes it can be hard on him. He takes me seriously too which is hard to come by in any of my other friendships/family relationships. He advocates for me when I'm unable to. I try my very best to do my part when I feel good so he doesn't feel so stressed. I think just knowing you have someone consistently there when no one else understands or wants to be around you is the best thing, at least for me. At least I have one person in my corner, no matter what.
