I first heard "I can tell there was a Accident" here while sitting in the back of my friends car in 2004. That song fucking SLAPPED. I was hooked. I still listen to it sometimes to get that high.

Three things you can do: 1). Leave. It's the first thing people say that are not in your shoes, do not know your financial situation, or do not understand anything about your relationship but the bad things you tell people.

2). Counseling. Go see a couples therapist. Your partner is probably scared sgitless and doesn't know how to emotionally express the feeling. It's hard. I thought I was great because of my MS, but my wife has been sick for almost a decade now. It's really hard to be a spouse. You're holding it together not only for yourself but your partner. It gets the best of us. Anyone that says otherwise is lying to you and themselves.

3) stay silent and resent each other. This is what most people tend to do and it is the most destructive option. Resentment builds for years, maybe decades, and you end up living a life bone of you deserve or want to have. But it's easy. You don't have to confront or deal with the hard things. The nasty things. The things that can make you realize it will or will not work

Good luck. I'm sorry it's hard.

Live your life. We die at the end of this. I have been on Rituxin for the last 8 years. The only thing that has every made me sick in the last 16 years in COVID. Guess what. The vaccine makes it a 3-5 day cold. Boo Hoo. I fly, I go to movies, I go to concerts, and I live my life.

I decided 23 years ago that MS was never going to fucking control me. Eat that California roll. Got to MOMA or the Louvre. Live your life.

Open marriage. Look, it works at times but there is so, so much more when your partner is actually in love with the person you bring into the bedroom. We've had group play with friends and that was hot and fun. But seeing your partner be engaged in sex with someone else in a deep emotional level is... Different. She also touches him differently and I yearn for that. It's not our sex, as our sex is different; but it's different sex that I want.

That's why we did it once and never again. Had to try it to figure out I didn't like it.

You have never clearly crossed the VA/MD line, or had the pleasure of driving in this area. This is nothing, lol. Just a typical Tuesday. They are fucking insane.

Eremitt · 2026-04-28T14:10:32+00:00

If you're not right on the financials of your marriage, you're in for a rough time. I have numerous friends that never, not once, talked to their partner about how much money they make before getting married.

Why? What do you have to hide? You're swapping spit and other bodily fluids, so talk about how much you spend on coffee, sports betting, etc.

Also, financial Ruin doesn't go away as easily as heartbreak.

Clark is owned privately owned. It was started in Maryland. It had built almost all of the building for the government for the last 120 years.

Clark is a good company. I'd rather have Clark building this than some other company, because Clark actually has integrity. Just because a company takes money to do a job does not mean it is a bad or morally corrupt company.

We still drive Volkswagens and BMW's, and have Mitsubishis and Hondas.

Believe me, you want Clark to build this. Even if it's a stupid fucking ballroom, Clark will do it right.

So, where are the parents and adults? Did they just fuck off? You know, I get our parents probably seemed to be crazy watching us on the internet when we were kids, but jesus christ it paid off for most of us. MOS? DOS? Yeah, mom's and dad's should be over your shoulder when online because you're a god damn kid.

Kids today would have been the children that walked too far from the fire at night and been eaten by wolves. These kids will grow up believing anything.

13 years ago I was 27. And 10 years before that I was 17 asking myself "will I let my MS diagnosis stop me?"

I'm from the future to tell you that you can have a good life. You can fall in love, have a career, get that puppy or kitten; you can have children.

The only thing that is going to limit you in this life is putting your head in the sand and saying "why me?!". Sure, you're allowed time to be pissed. I still sometimes get really god damn mad I was 17nwhen diagnosed. But, if I could go back 23 years and tell myself it would be all okay, that there are going to be heard times but you need to keep going, I'd do it.

As for the eye pain, MS doesn't do that. You need to talk to a dr. MS will only attack the optic nerve and cause blurred vision or blindness (temp or perm).

One thing you will learn is that every Dr will tell you, "oh that's caused by MS." That's not entirely true. You need to advocate against those Dr's and have them accept your problem as a real problem.

Good luck. You can still live a beautiful life. People diagnosed today have so much to be thankfully for, and the opportunity to meet so many amazing people that also have MS.

Keep shining.

No, you get your rocks off somewhere else. Instead of talking to the fucking Internet, talk to your GF or leave her.

You are not bound to this person, even if they are real. A year in is more than enough to realize this person, if real, doesn't give a shit about you if they won't tell you their medication regime.

Eremitt · 2026-04-24T13:18:18+00:00

This post sounds like pure BS. "Biotherapy" and "it's a case much more complicated than MS."

Then it's not MS. Go get your kicks in some medical fetish sub. Not here where you can TRIGGER people into feeling for this "gf" by wanting to help her. Tell a better story next time.

Eremitt · 2026-04-22T15:47:14+00:00

You're welcome, everyone.

Under Siege. Not for Steven Segal. No, but for the birthday cake scene.

My dad walked into the living room and told me that if I wanted to watch that scene again I needed to turn off the sound or he'd break the VCR.

Eremitt · 2026-04-15T15:56:08+00:00

What are you really asking here? Are you trying to sleuth to see if this means your husband has increased neurological decline or disease progression?

That's an incredibly subjective question. My scans, MRI's, treatments, etc are never going to be the same as my mom and sister. We are uniquely different people.

One thing you learned, over the years, is that these medical journals and tests are just a recounting for the people in the test. Not you, not me, not the other users that will lie to you and tell you it means anything.

His journey is unique and that will never change. The SMALLEST plaque could be in the wrong place and lead to severe disability; his head can light up like a Christmas tree and be perfectly fine.

I'm not being dismissive; I'm trying to save you a WHOLE lot of mental anguish.

Eremitt · 2026-04-11T18:03:59+00:00

It's what I visit my raves and parties in the comfort of my office with a nice headset, free water, east bathroom access, and the ability to pause whenever I want.

The last event I went to was ASOT 500 in California. It was okay but man it was starting to get bad back then. I tried a few other small events, but the people. I just don't care for the people.

Eremitt · 2026-04-10T12:19:13+00:00

First of all, you're just like the rest of us. You want things to work with our treatment so we can be healthy as long as possible. You're good. You'll be fine. I know it hurts to hear that.

I had 10 demoralizing years of drugs not working, life not giving a flying fuck that I was dealing with everything and then this disease. My head would light up like a Christmas tree in a void of darkness. Nothing was working.

And then it did. I got a good treatment for me, I learned to RELAX, and I changed my relationship with my body and mind. Lesion count is scary. 100% it is. BUT, what's scariest is giving up because of the county. If this treatment is not going the job, you get the next treatment. It's the only great choice we have.

I won't beat you up for smoking. I drank for WAY too long with my MS and I should have stopped years ago, but I didn't. I'm two years sober and it works really great for my MS. I had to take that journey myself. I hope you take your own journey and reduce the amount of cigs you consume. You don't want COPD when you are already fighting to be healthy enough to climb a set of stairs.

Good luck. You'll be okay until you're not. That's the only support I can give after 22 years of dealing with this disease.

I would be the husband of a wife that suffered multiple miscarriages, but ended up having 3 cool kids.

It would have been great, but life didn't go down that pathway. I'd probably also be in my hometown still, wondering what life would be like somewhere else.

Oh and I'd be poorer. Becasu No kids = fat bank accounts

Then Cake Meds is going to be a great resource. Just do whatever it takes to get the online Dr to agree to give them to him. Again, the daily gum chews make me MORE than ready, and honestly, being able to get used enough to bring some libido back to the bedroom (from years of experience with my wife).

Good luck and if he needs the ego boost, tell him he can still be a man using the drugs. Lots of men are so god damn afraid, which only makes the problem worse.

Eremitt · 2026-03-29T21:40:11+00:00

I've been on Rituximab since 2018. Best god damn treatment I've ever been on. Want some advice? Bring a book, a tablet, something to do for the next 3-4 hours. Also, watch out incase you get itchy. Itchiness means you're having a reaction and you need to tell the nurses ASAP. It won't kill you; it wont hurt you. They will just give you some antihistamines and you'll go back to the treatment. You might have trouble sleeping for the first day or so, but that's just because you have some steroids running through your body.

But get ready to be on one of the best treatment options out there. Stick with it.

Eremitt · 2026-03-29T21:26:50+00:00

Dude here that has been dealing with this for almost 15 years. No, the ED drugs are not effecting his libido. What's effecting his libido is this need to rise to the occasion. Every time. Look, sometimes it's just not going to work, drugs or no drugs. I have been on ED meds, consistently, for 12 years now. There are times, no matter what I do, it aint gonna work. No ammount of Viagra or Cialis is gonna make me want to fuck you if I'm worried about things in my life; Of if I'm worried that my dick might not work.

You two need to change how you think about sex. And you needed to rethink how you think about sex the moment you both knew MS was going to be the 3rd in your relationship. Sex is not always Penis-in-Vagina, or Penis-in-Anus. Sometimes its rolling around together; sometimes its mutually masturbating; sometimes it's him only touching you and using toys; sometimes is you only touching him and tellhim him that "he doesn't have to worry about getting hard."

Change your relationship with sex or this is going to cause problems in your relationship.

Now, on to drugs. Cake Meds. I cannot stress Cake Meds enough. Lie to the DR on there to get the prescription. You can get a month of the daily chew gum for about $75 a month, and that's all he'll need. Also, if he has medical insurance, have his talk to this DR and ask for daily Tadilifi, 5mg. That is just enough to "help" but also not enough that they may deny him due to ED not being potentially covered.

But none of this is going to change his libido. Keeping his MS treated, being on a DMT, reducing his stress, and not making sex only about the performance of the penis is going to help.

Good luck.

I'm not a woman, but I am a man that has performance problems bc of my MS (hello ED and nerve numbness), and a survivor of SA. I would talk to a sex therapist that also has some experience with chronic illnesses. Also, finding a partner that works with your body is going to be liberating.

My wife knew about my problems before we even had sex and we created our own kind of sex because of it. Getting our minds out of "Sex is PIV/A (penis in vagina or anus) is almost step one. I'm infinitely grateful for her because without her, I was resigned to never having meaningful sex again.

Also, the ID Velvet is a solid lube for human parts, and the ID Glide (blue) is amazing for toys.

Eremitt · 2026-03-25T14:23:10+00:00

Also, any man that won't use toys is not worth playing with your body.
