Bless your hearts. I have not heard that it is common for married couples; but could be a blessing for both of you. You have each other for support and strength; not to mention, love. This disease is hard for the whole family, and you will need all of your friends and family to provide courage.
No we have both been tested for Lyme disease, we do have MS unfortunately. ty for responses.
I also can't really answer your question but can identify as both my husband and I have benign types of brain tumors. I've been able to wait and watch mine for 6-1/2 years and he needed surgery in 2004 and found a regrowth in 2007 treated with radiation. On top of that I am a four-year breast cancer survivor. My only advice is don't hesitate to ask for help and keep a sense of humor. Good luck.
I can't answer your question but wanted to ask if there is any possibility you both could have lyme disease? It causes MS symptoms and is often misdiagnosed as MS and other things. Do you camp? Have you had any weird rashes, fevers, joint pain or other symptoms?
