Relationships and MS - Spouse or Partner Perspective
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2024
- What’s it like being in a relationship with someone with multiple sclerosis (MS)? In this video I interview my husband/spouse/partner Steve to get the partner perspective on how it is living with someone with MS. I ask him questions provided by my viewers. We chat about MS and relationships, support the spouse provides, and support the partner or spouse needs.

What other questions do you have about being a spouse or partner of someone with MS or chronic illness?
A huge thank you goes out to both of you. Thank you to your husband so much for speaking it was great for my spouse to hear another man. It help to really open up the communication line in a deeper sense about MS. Your husband gets a gold star for his time, thank you. 🎉❤😊
Thanks so much! I will give him that gold star!
I think both of you are such wonderful people and I love to see how health conscious and mindful you both are about your eating habits and how they affect your health. I also love your philosophy and how you approach life's challenges together and support each other so much. You both have a wonderful, positive attitude and I appreciate your both sharing.
Thanks so much for watching!
As a person who has begun dating someone with MS, your channel and this video have been very insightful.
It's nice to know that many of my concerns are validated, but there's also an opportunity to live a normal and healthy life. Living on the present is much better than fretting for a future that has yet to happen. Communication is definitely key. So let's see how it goes.
Thank you so much for the work you both do ❤
Thanks so much for watching. Yep, communication and living in the present definitely help us.
Wonderfully said
Aww you’re such a lovely couple - can feel the love and support! Thank you both x
Thank you! We make a good team. 😉
@@EvenSoItIsWell you absolutely do 😁
What a beautiful video!
Possibly the most uplifting video I've seen, and I've watched 100's since my PPMS diagnosis.
Beautiful couple. Thank you both.
Aw, thanks Ernie! Steve says thanks too!
Thanks for sharing Steve 🎉
He says “My pleasure.” Thanks for watching.
Married 25 years been together over 30+ as well
I think we also view things in the present.
I also got diagnosed with a very large brain tumour which was found while looking for MS in 2021. Brqin surgery has progressed my MS alot. However I still support others with MS and run the MS Canada chapter near us.
I find taking it each day at a time, because MS is always there, when I wake up till I go to bed. I knew I had MS way before I was diagnosed.
Eachday brings new changes into our lives, some days better than others.
I would say it has for sure made me think more about myself and what I need in my life.
Meeting others with MS has been a blessing as well.
Also found 1 or 2 others whom also had a brain tumour because of MS. It's very rare.
I thank you both for being so open as i will share this video with my hubby. I strive to be that way as well, as it does come naturally often to me.
Thanks for watching. Sounds like we have very similar philosophies on living with our conditions. Best to you and your hubby.
Great video Vickie. Cheers to another 30 years.
Thanks Dr. Beaber! We make a great team.
I'm so happy you two have each other, and trying to stay in the present sounds wise. Thanksfor sharing this.
Thanks for watching. Living each day to the full!
I love this! What a great way to hear from "the other side"🧡
Thanks so much!
Great video. Thank you for sharing your husband.
You are welcome! I am happy to share.
Great Video. How did I not know your name was Vicky?!
Thanks for watching! I don’t always say my name in my videos. 😉
I also have MS and my husband went to Bates college
I was a massage therapist before, and I help diagnose myself.
How funny! We have similar lives. Do you ever get back to Bates? We go to reunion every 5 years.
Beautiful. You two are so lucky to have each other. My husband is in denial and just doesn't understand. It's always I'm fine I'm just lazy and nothing is wrong with me. He says he will never believe it because I look fine and I'm not physically disabled. 🥺 He does go to my neurologist with me and does see what the heat does to me. Do you have a video that could explain this for someone like that to better understand?
Thanks for watching. I am sorry your husband is struggling to understand. That can be so frustrating. It can be very hard to explain. I will think about a video on this topic! Keep trying to keep the lines of communication open!
Hope you do a video on plant base food. I not a good cook and do not love vegetables. I need help and suggestions on how to cook vegetables
Thanks for watching! I have done some videos on recipes and food and will do more in the future. You can find them in this playlist th-cam.com/play/PLOsqG9hDm0Gfb2-kw83xkg293_rmaxHRF.html
What kind of doctor diagnoses MS? I have been having some symptoms I have been wondering about.
Typically it is a neurologist.
Thank you.
Do you folks have children ?
Since you never mentioned it I’m guessing no.
Just curious.
Yes! We have a son and daughter and two grandchildren!
@@EvenSoItIsWell that’s cool! Thank you for sharing. I’ve been married for 21 years and diagnosed with MS for 20 years we also have two children together.
