Q: Dating An Amazing Guy W/ms

Hi all,

i decided to post because I just started dating this unbelievably wonderful guy who has ms. I want to be better informed about the illness & how it's affecting him. He is fiercely independent, which rocks, but I want to be able to support him when/if that time comes.

So I guess i'm looking for starting points - good resources on ms, general info, because i'm not familiar with the illness. & I guess good resources for folks dating people with ms.

I'm absolutely crazy about him & I want to be better informed without putting all the burden on him to educate me.

Thanks!

Its a Hard Job
Hi I am married to a very wonderful man who was diagnosed about 3 1/2 yrs ago. It is very hard to take care of someone with m.S. My hubby has very bad memory loss, so I have 2 keep track of everything for myself and him. I don't mind because I love him to death but just wanted you to know it's not easy. He gets very tired and then he doesn't want to do anything. He works very hard at work everyday to support us and I take care of the house. We don't have any kids yet and I am really looking into that with this problem too. I don't know if I can handle a memory for one more thing...Well hope all goes well with your love and you. Just remember who that person is and how increddible he is for taking on such a hard disease. My hubby is in remitt,remission so he is ok now. Still has numbness in his right hand but he is getting use to that. Please feel free to email anytime with questions or concerns...Michelle :)
