The Stigma of Dating With MS

As a result, dating someone with MS or having a relationship with them may differ from dating an individual without the condition. MS causes damage to myelin, the fatty substance that insulates nerves in the body. This disrupts the electrical signals that travel to and from the brain, resulting in symptoms such as unsteadiness, weakness, tingling, tremors, and fatigue. People with MS can experience times where their symptoms get worse or periods where they may experience few or no symptoms at all. Others may have some level of symptoms all the time. This article explores some of the ways that MS can affect relationships and discusses how people can support a partner with MS.

The most interesting thing for me is that every guy I have dated has also had issues they are facing. Some guys have had diseases, emotional issues and physical problems. Their issues did not deter me from dating them.
