Set Expectations for Care

The details will vary from relationship to relationship, but it is important to talk with your partner about the level of care you will need from him or her and discern how much care or help you want during a flare up.  Some people need more hands-on attention while others prefer to handle symptoms themselves.  Either way, be sure to talk about this prior to the first flare up of your relationship.
