Hi folks. I've been feeling the need for advice and support and this place looked good so here I am.

The story so far.. been with my fella for 10 years although we don't live together, yet. New year this year he started getting pain in his feet which a gp thought was plantar fasciitis but after seeing muscle and bone specialists that has been ruled out. He still has pain in his legs and feet and is experiencing odd sensations in his hands such as 'feeling like getting a shock' from touching things or things 'feeling like ice'.
He has been on crutches since new year and finally has a neurology appt tomorrow but I realise a diagnosis could still take quite a while.

It has been a really hard year, not knowing what is going on and speculating about what the future may hold for us. He is such an active man, his favourite things are wildlife photography and playing the guitar. Whatever this thing is is making both things much harder and I'm so scared for him if this gets worse.
I cry in secret because I'm trying to stay 'up' for him but I know that this could ruin his life.
We both already suffer from mental health problems so this is really difficult.

I'm starting to feel really lost and alone. I don't know how to help us both stay sane.

Sorry for the essay. Feels good to let it out though. thanks for reading.
