I am really sorry that you and Jim are having to deal with this horrid disease.

With respect, as a patient of this crap for nearly 3 years and also being my own caregiver, I certainly do not share your view that being a caregiver would be harder than being a patient.
I would switch positions any day if it was humanly possible and if I could find someone who would be willing to do so.
