  Hi @nikki6, nice to meet you!
  
  I've moved your post into our Parents and Carers category, so that others in similar situations may be more likely to see it: you might also like to have a read through past discussions yourself. The MS Society also has a great resource on coping when somebody close to you has MS, in case you haven't seen it already. 
  
  Let us know if we can be of any assistance and hope you have a lovely day!

  Hi @nikki6, I don't know if you have already been informed but there are many MS coffee mornings in lots of Towns and Cities around the Country and you should be able to find them easy on the tinternet, good luck from SethLaa

  Hi I'm new on here too and my partner has an incurable heart and lung deserve,I know it's not like ms but it's just as debilitating as both deseases result in being in a wheelchair and we are full time carers so in that way I know how you feel.I've never spoken to another carer before and I would really like to talk to others who understand.There are loads of support groups for ms and I hope you find one nearby.My partner has chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension  (try saying that after a few drinks at xmas)!! How long have you been a carer? I hope you're claimed all the benefits your entitled to especially p.I. p n carers allowance.I wish you all the best for the future.Us women are strong though so I know you will be o.k and thanks for sharing your story as it helps to know we're not alone.
