I don't want a right to die debate, this is not what this post is about.
I totally understand why he wants to end his life, without the MS he has other health issues that blight his life, with pain and suffering, all excruciating and leave him in constant pain and he snatches sleep when he can.
The primary progressive MS has now only left him with the use of his left hand, he can still talk and swallow. His brain functions perfectly. He wants to make the decision while he still has the mental capacity.
My Mum agrees with him, and he would do the same for her if it were the other way round.
I just can't get my head round the enormity of the situation they are facing and what it all means and involves. I worry for my Mum. MS is s hideous disease, it takes away you ability as a basic human being, slowly stopping life in a suffocating grip. Any sort of palliative ongoing care won't help, he can't take any more drugs.
Just immensley sad, nothing can help.
