I’m currently dating an SC Woman and sometimes when she talks about her pain although I can relate to it physically but I try to be there for her emotionally. Please are there more tips on what to do while dating an SC woman?
It's wonderful that you want to be as supportive as possible for your girlfriend! I found two articles that might be of use to her: an article with general tips and another written by a woman with SC about her appreciation for her husband and the support he gives her (she calls him her unsung hero!). Your attitude is fantastic and sweet, and I wish you and your girlfriend much happiness and love! Warmly, Kathy (Team Member)
Intimacy is definitely an issue and especially with chronic back pain. We pretty much need a schedule.
