I'm just looking for others that are in a similar situation and how they manage everything at home and work.

In my clinical experience I've encountered two subtypes: persisting and protracted and the alternating expression of remission and relapse. It is a protracted disease. Look it up on "Medscape" for additional clinical information.
Best, Rich

No. I had an aunt who had it. I took care of my parents for several years when they were both suffering from dementia. Not the same disease, but the challenges would be the same. Let me know if I can help.

From a clinical perspective, dementia is very protracted except when it expresses itself in the late 40's or early 50's. As it slowly progresses, the person will lose the recognition of others and eventually lose all sense of self.

Indeed. But for the caregiver, the stresses and need for support would be similar, watching your loved one gradually disintegrate.

45 years old female with very aggressive Multiple Sclerosis that does stand up comedy. Ms has negatively impacted my life in so many ways, but I gotta say that it has made me stronger and a better person in a lot of ways. I feel so happy and excited to see myself recover from MS very fast. I can talk very well and walk freely now. Here is herbal centre that helped me recover incase you need their help (besthealthherbalcentre. c om).
