Diagnosis, relationship, break-up, rant, etc...

I recently went through a #breakup after a 2 year long #relationship. I think my diagnosis hit my partner really hard... harder than it hit me. She didn’t know how to deal with the sadness I was feeling for almost a year. She really wanted to help she really wanted to be there for me but didn’t know...

Difficult Times

Dear all I'm having a difficult time. But, meh? Who isn't? I'm struggling with complexities of work- I was promoted last week to a position I don't much care for (nor understand) and I'm not sure how long I'm supposed to carry on before I fall to pieces. I need to quit - I'm hanging on by a thre...

I’ve just started Copaxone and did my first injection with the MS Nurse a few days ago. I just wanted to share some of the advice she gave me in case it’s of use to anyone else, as some of it I hadn’t seen mentioned before.

Hello Shift.MSers. I was diagnosed with early PPMS (male, 28) in july, 4 months after breaking up with someone I still love. The break up was slow, painful, emotionally violent. Today I went for a drink with this person, mostly to share my MS diagnosis and my treatment plan with a newly approved...

Fear of ending up alone?

After a painful breakup, I was diagnosed with PPMS in july. Experiences? Opinions? I'm quite optimistic, most of the time. But I find it hard to feel attractive or desirable after such a painful break-up and the diagnosis of a chronic disease. (fyi, I'm 28).

Potential partner is scared of catching feelings

I spent a lot of time with a woman for just over a year. Our relationship morphed through a friendship, to dating, to something in between. We are very close, she might be my deepest friend by now. I love her, and she knows it. Yesterday, she told me that she can see a future with me, BUT she is sca...
