My hubby was diagnosed october of 08. He is now in the stage where he has lost the use of his hands and arms, neck is weak, his legs keep giving out on him, he keeps falling, and he is getting more and more frustrated. Don't get me wrong I understand WHY he is frustrated. He keeps coming up with more and more projects, in the last two weeks, I have been a chauffer,plumber, carpenter, ditch digger, lawn professional, painter, mechanic, and who knows what else, while doing all this I have been his primary caregiver. You can't leave him alone, he stomps off and ends up falling down and hurting himself, yelling til he is blue in the face for help. This attitude he has developed over the last couple of weeks is getting OLD fast. He won't even let me go to my neighbors for 15 minutes. I am burning out and fast, he refuses to let someone else come in and help us out. We qualify for several hours a week help and he won't let me accept it. I am at my wits end, and I can't EVEN imagine how frustrated he is. HELP
