I am new to this forum and have posted a couple posts already to introduce myself and one in the Friends and Family section. But long story short, I am a 36 YOA son whose mom has had very progressive MS for 35-40 years. She still lives at home with my dad and she is now 74. She is in a wheel chair, no use of any limbs, has a feeding tube, very limited voice, ...

:sad: Tomorrow is one year to the date that I was diagnosed with SPMS - I'm still without a primary care provider so it's been a year of hell going to walk in clinics and not knowing where to go or what to do for advice other than online forums.

I am currently having to save enough ...
