Does support look different for a male vs female living with M.S? My husband has recently been diagnosed (he is in his 40's) and I am struggling knowing how to support him.

Hi everyone, I hope you all doing okay & staying strong. I have alot going on & I feel like crap. I been stressing but Lord knows I try not to because it's not good for my health. My oldest son was in a bad car wreck on Ma 16, 2026 & it took a toll on me when I went to the hospital & seen him with that breathing tube in his mouth. Hearing the doctor saying he can't breath on his own devastated me. God heard my prayers & gave my son another chance. He showed him grace & mercy...my son had to have surgery/ in his hip 2 plates & 12 screws. He's going through Rehab Therapy now. I stayed at the hospital with him for bout 14 days & never left his side. The hospital then transported him to a inpatient Rehab Therapy Facility I stayed that day & went hope to rest. I having been feeling the best. I need to go see my Neurologist but my car a/c went out & I can't stand to be in the heat very long. It takes 1hr. 10 min. to my Neurologist. It's sad but I don't have anyone to take me. My oldest son towed out his car & my baby son drive trucks over the road/ he drive his car to Atlanta truck spot & leave it there while he work. I'm concerned & honestly worried about my health for 1 my vision is blurry going in & out/ the pain in my right eye is excruciating it was like that before I think it's optic neuritis. I think I have another UTI, and my memory done got worser, and my whole body especially my legs are aching so bad. It sucks having MS & you don't have a support system or anyone to help me when I'm down & out. I just pray God hears my prayers...Still I'm there for my mom with dementia, my son because he still needs my help...but I look around & nobody has me. One of my sister's have cancer & still I go by & check on her & call her but hopefully she will be fine she done with chemo, had surgery, and next step radiation. I tell God I see why you allowed me to go through the things I went through in life...even though I'm going through I'm still fighting & staying strong. If, nobody else don't got me I got me & I know God got me. He didn't bring me this far to leave me. I'm just going to stand still and wait on God like always...he might not come when I want but he's a on time God. He amazes me everytime!🙏🏿❤️🙌🏾
