CS, I am so sorry to hear that. It's not enough this disease takes all our strength to remain functional if possible. It drains our very souls. I have had the thought run through my mind that it is probably better if I don't have any relationship to avoid any pain and frustration on my partner as well as the responsibility of being a caregiver. Often I have told myself that I'm not going to become involved in any relationship and instead focus on my 2 dogs, my mom and I. Life would sure be simpler but yes, very depressing. It is beyond comprehension how devastating this disease is. It's not so much the muscle rigidity and trying to stay on. It is all of these other things that it just sucks the life out of us.
