Thank you so much Sue and Donette, I am so delighted to have found this forum as this is so helpful. To be honest my partner has a lot to deal with and this is on top of it is too much so I am trying my best to find out what we can do without him getting too stressed, as I think he finds it a little hard to deal with. My mother has MS and said when she was diagnosed (nearly 40 years ago) she also kind of went into denial a little.
As soon as we are registered with the new GP we will try to get as much help and advice as possible.
Sue, the thing you mentioned about barefoot helping is weird as he has always preferred to be barefoot, for years well before we knew anything about this! Thank you Donette for your advice about the 'bucket' too, lots of really good advice!
I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate it all, nothing beats hearing direct information from people in the same situation
