New relationship, explaining fatigue...HELP!!

Hello, I have just started a new relationship and I told him early on about my ms, and explained that I am mainly affected by fatigue. It doesn't generally stop me doing much but it does strike without warning and sometimes I have to skip things. Anyway, I have realised that I'm not too good at communicating about it, I think partly because I don't fully understand/accept it. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice/tips? What would be great would be a leaflet specifically for boyfriends/girfriends of people with ms fatigue. The MS Society essentials fatigue sheet would probably be a bit overkill. I want to ensure that he understands but I also don't want to scare hime off...not sure how to strike that balance! Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

Try the MSRC website and go to 'symptoms of MS' and fatigue.

google The Spoon Theory, it is quite good.
