Welcome, Rick. I note that your wife has rheumatoid arthritis. This is the case with one of the CGs in our local support group, whose husband has Multiple Systems Atrophy, a"PD Plus"version. I'm sure she appreciates the empathy you expressed for her condition, and is in a position to appreciate something of your problems, too. I hope she, like my friend, has found some helpful meds to make daily life easier. Glad to have you aboard. See post I will send to list now about the list we have for CGs. >Thanks for the welcomes and suggestions.
