Thank you, Laurie, for responding. My son is now 48. He was diagnosed over 6 years ago. You’re right, he is going through a lot. Unfortunately, he doesn’t usually want to cooperate with us. We wanted to take him to the Mayo Clinic but he said he would only go if it was just him & his older brother. I’m fine with that but they’re still not making any plans. I’ve done so much researching that I think I now need to step back. My husband & I will still take the drive to be there for his doctor’s appointments. We also visit for several days but barely see him because he’s always running around dropping off or picking up his 5 kids. He’s an unbelievable dad. The kids mean more to him than anything. I think he did go to therapy at one time but gave it up. His worse symptom is pain. That’s why I think he needs to see another neurologist. As his mom, I can only do so much. I think my new job is to wait until he wants my help. A couple of times a week we talk on the phone with him and we all pray together. I’ll never stop doing that. Thank you again for your input. I appreciate it very much. God bless you.
