I would just like the opinions of some husbands/boyfriends on ways to help you deal with the demands of our PCOS. I, like all of the girls here, find myself on an emotional roller coaster. I try to be optimistic and cheerful, but of course that doesn't always work. Because of my extreme fatigue, my husband helps out a lot more than the "average guy" and also works 60 hours a week. I know that my illness stresses him out greatly, and scares him terribly - no matter what I say to alleviate his fears. I hear "are you okay?" at least 10 times a day. I just got us a couple's membership at a gym, as he loves to work out. I'm rather hoping that excercise will be a good stress relief at the day's end. He's not the type to talk about my problems to friends (he isn't a very social person, except for the occassional dinner date with friends). Do any of you have any suggestions which would make life with a PCOS wife easier for you? We (I) appriciate all that my DH does for me, and I would like to return the favor and support him as well. This illness tends to make me self absorbed because of the symptoms, and emotional distress I feel constantly under. I want to show him that I appriciate all that he does for me.
