My boyfriend recently has been diagnosed with CFS/ME and it does explain a lot about how his health and energy throughout the day isn't what it used to be. I also have a friend suffering with the condition and hers is quite severe, so I'm trying to settle it in my mind that I want to be as helpful as possible, but without becoming patronising or 'helping too much'.
My friend has been able to do so much despite the fact her health and fatigue worsened over the last year, but I think knowing my boyfriend has been recently diagnosed is making me more paranoid and worried about him. I don't want to end up googling a thousand things about it that worry me (especially given my worries about my OWN health recently).
Any advice on the best ways to help a significant other with CFS/ME?
