   <p>Hi sueschumacher! First off, I am so sorry your daughter has been diagnosed with MS. It is definitely a condition that affects not just and individual, but also the people that love them. Secondly, I think it&#39;s great that you are trying to support and love your daughter in the best way possible. If you haven&#39;t already, you may ask your daughter about the best ways to help her. Many of our members stress that they like to be as independent as possible and really don&#39;t like asking for help. I thought you might like this article written from the perspective of a person with MS, including the comments following the piece -- <a href='https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/asking-for-and-accepting-help/' target='_blank'>https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/asking-for-and-accepting-help/</a>. Here&#39;s another article from a married couple dealing with MS -- <a href='https://multiplesclerosis.net/caregiver/four-keys-succeed-relationships/' target='_blank'>https://multiplesclerosis.net/caregiver/four-keys-succeed-relationships/</a>. <br> <br> Again, I think it&#39;s wonderful that you are looking for new ways to help your daughter. <br> <br> Thank you for reaching out! Best, Erin, <a href='http://MultipleSclerosis.net' target='_blank'>MultipleSclerosis.net</a> Team Member.</p>
