Hello..... Brian

I am so sorry you and your wife are both having to go thru such a hard time in life with your wife's failing health...... I too have been Dx with Fibro & RA - and I have to say the best thing my family members ever did for me was to acknowledge that my pains were indeed real and to relize that I cannot always do normal day to day events - Like: shopping, walking, driving, cooking, ect.

The best thing I did for my self was to locate a good Rheumatologist that helped me with the right medicine(s) to take in order to decrease the inflammation and pain as best as we could...... and last but not least - to REST / SLEEP as NEEDED.

I have been dealing with Fibro & RA for 10 years now.
