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. Also, sometimes I feel “flat” like my emotions are not fully out, I think Ms changed that too. Very...

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 ...

Relationships

I feel like the past 2 months have been a real struggle for our relationship. We have been together a year January 4th and not had a flare up until October 20th. Been in and out of the hospital 3 times to get the steroids pushed through since October 28th. He has been more distant lately and he is ...

Family and relationships

Evening all, Without going into my whole life story ( it would take a while, and I don’t want to push you all over the edge..😂). But let’s say, my family was never functional, but guess, whose is? That said, I lost my father a few years before diagnosis, and I have never been close to my mother. ...

Change in relationships

Ever since diagnosis I have found that my nearest and dearest try to take advantage of my difficulties. My husband tries to take advantage of my poor memory. I had a massive argument with my mother, and I have argued with a friend for my husbands sake. I feel like I don’t want to suffer fools gladly...

MS & relationships

So has anyone lost a relationship through MS. Yes other factors make up the overall outcome. But the relationship was started without MS put it that way. I’m still in full time employment, hitting the gym, going out on my motorbike for coffee ☕️ etc and generally don’t have a hard time with it (MS...
