Zorro I don't think you are a burden on your significant other. I know it is hard for our loved ones to deal with out condition but you can still have nice times with laughs. I think how isolated I am is not healthy but that is where I am at right now.

Mrs D I also don't like extremes. Summer which has started here in FL is brutal for me. The air conditioning hurts me at times from the air circulation. That being said cold and snow is very brutal on me. I go frozen and the pain goes way up. Ugh I need to live in a bubble.
