    Hi @Lindamaryb - just adding my welcome to this supportive group. It can't be easy caring for your husband with these disorders, tho thankfully as you say these are in their early stages. Do you have any support for you?

    Thank you everyone. My message should have read early stages not ‘army’ just goes to show it was late in the day.  My support as now comes from family members who have been wonderful but it is still mainly listening that’s needed I may need to ask for help when things deteriorate.
