Sorry to hear, it is a nasty disease and presents itself in soo many different ways. My mother inlaw has had the disease for 20 or so years and is confined to a wheelchair with just use of her right hand. I have seen others with it just as long who you would hardly know they have it. Get in touch with the Colorado MS Society ( https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Chapters/COC ), they are a wealth of information and have many resources available to help you guys out.
My thoughts and prayers for you both.
Scott - thoughts and prayers out your way!
I have a friend that is a former colleague, now married to another colleague. When she quit working at my location a few years ago she was in great health. Within months of leaving she noticed significant health issues - like difficulty walking. She, too, was diagnosed with MS. It was a shock seeing a once vibrant young lady walking unsteadily with the assistance of a cane. She has good days and bad but just lost her job because her company decided she'd been on convalescence long enough. It's been tough and the illness has required significant changes in how she goes about her daily life.
One of the first things your sweetheart needs to do is get her doctor to assist in getting her set up with a handicap placard/plate. Even short walks become exceptionally difficult rather quickly. It gets worse as the disease progresses.
Let us know if we can help you in any way. In the mean time, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Prayers for peace and healing sent!
Good thoughts headed ya'lls way.

Prayers sent. Stay strong and give us a shout if you need anything.
Just read this and was sorry to see it. There are some good things happening in the field of MS, including some pretty good therapies. A friend's wife has it and has been symptom free for several years.
Prayers are outbound!

Sorry to hear. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with MS after about 10 years of not knowing and mystery symptoms. It was bittersweet to know finally but a gut punch all at the same time. I'm sure you can relate somewhat.
It sounds like she's got the right attitude to take this on though. These things are stubborn and it takes a strong will to meet force with force which is sounds like she has in spades. It will become her greatest asset moving forward.
Thoughts are with you both.
