Yours in faith that a cure will be found- Linda Potter 50/49dx'd Joy and all- I'd be happy to give you the info on the book,"Surviving Your Spouse's Chronic Illness". The ISBN number is - 0-8050-5573-8. The book costs $13.95. It was writen by a woman whose husband had M.S., for 15 years. She interviewed many other couples , whose illnesses varied. She speaks very frankly about the realities of having an ill spouse, no matter what the disease may be. To tell tthe truth, it is opening my eyes as to what my well husband may be going through. After he reads the book ,I see that we should sit down and discuss it. This is my contribution to all of us who are in this leaky boat! I hope this will help someone, if only one person gets insight, it'll be worth it. Linda
