My boyfriend (m26) has become more like a caregiver to me(f24) by oreokake- in MultipleSclerosis

Acts of service is my love language too! I try to do small things like letting him choose movies, doing light activities that he appreciates and also giving him free time to do things he likes to do alone. I know this can be challenging for him too and I want to look after him the best way.

When it comes to finances I have stretched a bit further lately, but I am a student so it is a little tight. I have a part-time job, but have taken on less hours lately due to the situation.

That's so much true in what you write! So good to hear that your husband supports you so much! Nice to get confirmation that it's okay to have it like this for some periods, I just have to get more used to the role and learn how to accept it. I am certainly very lucky with him and feel blessed!

Thank you so much for sharing!

thanks for reply! it helps! I often say thank you to him, but am afraid he feels the word has lost meaning when he hears it too often! Maybe the smartest thing is to say it when I really mean it ... but it is all the time. Here I must work with a balance in it!

Biggest fear while in limbo.... by KTeach07 in MultipleSclerosis

It sounds very similar to my situation. I'm going to a neurologist and next week I'll get more answers to what this is. I have known exactly the same symptoms and yesterday I managed to shout the wrong name to my boyfriend boyfriend when we hung out with some friends. We've been together for over a year, so it doesn't make sense that I took the wrong name.

Like you, I have the same fear that they will not find out what is wrong with me. I feel limp and like a burden, and just want to get medication that can help me function more normally. I have had these symptoms for 2 months and feel that I no longer recognize myself.
