I have to say that I am very sorry your husband is going through this and you as well. I know the spouse has a lot to deal with too and can a lot of times feel so helpless. I agree with what Ms. Cook said; those are wise words to check with large hospitals with big neurological departments. In my experience, sometimes teaching hospitals are a good place to either start or seek out treatment. They can be eager to tackle rare cases and will dedicate themselves to finding answers. That is my opinion and experience with dealing with the medical profession not only as a patient, but working in the medical field in the past as well. And having a physician as a father who also recommended teaching hospitals.
Keep your chin up....your husband will need you. It sounds like you have a good basis and makings for a very supportive role in your relationship. That will go a long way with a situation like this.
