Janet7
My wife's neurologist has told her a few times that exercise is the only proven method to delay the progression, however, the progression varies with each individual. I've seen a slowdown in her progression and it makes me very happy. I could not picture life without her. 🙁

So happy for you that exercise helped your wife live longer! I will definitely start a walking routine with Will. Having a routine works so well with him because he was raised on a routine for everything: at meal time, has to have the same glass, same spoon, same bowl, same time for bed and same time for waking, same kinds of food, etc. I guess it is this routine that gives him comfort, but on the other hand, change is very difficult for him and causes him to have anxiety and confusion. Can’t wait til we get back to Illinois in our small apartment and have a peaceful life, drama over!
