This may sound cruel and I don't want it to, but you can't make her do them. It is unfortunate but you may have to move on with your life without her. This is a hard cross to bear as the saying goes, we all fall off the wagon occassionally, emotionally it's alot. But you cannot take on her sickness, she has to have the will power to do her treatments and take her meds. I know it is very hard for younger people to deal with this disease, I was not as dedicated at times either in my younger years, but I was better than I am now. Make sense? So you are not her keeper, or her boss, and please don't say well if you don't do them I am breaking up with you. But have a serious talk tell her you care for her, but she has to care for herself first. and if you does not do what is best for her, it's not your job plain and simple. I am much older and I know that stage of life. Pat-56/CF
