Relationships: Balance

I met and married my husband before my official multiple sclerosis diagnosis. This has proved to be very fortunate for both of us: we gradually learned about my probable MS, my bouts of sickness, and the possible bend further along in the road. Although I’m doing fairly well, I’m not in the outside workforce, and my earning potential has been cut in half. But this has come as no surprise to Bill or me, because we’ve experienced the MS situation together from (almost) the beginning — we’ve been together nearly 10 years, and I’ve had symptoms for about 11.
