My partner has really struggled with my diagnosis, no longer feels attracted to me and while they want to stay together they are clearly emotionally and sexually checked out. They are very caring towards me but the romance and sexualness is gone. I think if they ...

Relationship

Since being diagnosed my previous relationship ended it’s been 4 years now.

MS and relationships.

I was diagnosed with RRMS in March 2022, after having Covid-19, 6 times in 8 months. Since diagnosis, things are progressively getting worse, such as my cognitive function, speech, tiredness, and pain. My memory is terrible now to the point where I am repeating my sentences over and over again, and ...

Marriage / relationships and MS

Hi there! Is anyone else struggling with your relationships after the diagnosis? I personally feel that Ms changed me a lot and my wife seems to miss the person I was… and that I will never be again.
