    Thank you! We work as a team to be open honest with each other. We don’t hide our feelings, but always try to say them kindly so that we can resolve anything together. He is my hero!

    How lucky you are to have such a loving, caring husband that is so willing to speak out to others about life with #Myositis and to provide great tips for others. What a great article!
