Sex with my SCI boyfriend

I’ve able bodied but my boyfriend of two months is not. We had sex for the first time yesterday and I started crying out of no where and couldn’t stop because I knew all the work I was putting in felt like nothing to him. I didn’t want to tell him that’s why I was so upset so I made up a story about how intense it was physically and we continued. This morning I gave him oral after a few minutes he asked me to stop because it was “pointless“ I feel so bad for him I wish there was something I could do. I feel so useless knowing this just is what it is for him. It will be three years for him being a paraplegic this June and he hasn’t had sex since before the incident. I guess I dont have a question to ask, just hoping someone from this side of the relationship can relate and let me know it gets better.

Anyone have similar symptoms?

My first sign was the constant sweating. I am experiencing significant heat intolerance and excessive sweating, to the point where I cannot sleep unless the air conditioning is set to 65°F. At work I have two large fans and a chair because I'm out of breath and/or sweating every 10 mins.

My next concern was that my menstrual cycle has recently become longer (for example, a 35-day gap between my March 29th and May 3rd periods) and follows a "stop-and-go" pattern where I bleed for two days, stop completely, and then spot for two more days. My periods were typically 27-29 days prior to this.

These symptoms are accompanied by a constant, unexplained itching across my back and a sensation of my ears feeling "clogged" or full every single day. I'm 33 and I'm very in tune with my body, Google keeps saying it's a thyroid issue but I was tested a year ago and it was negative.

Has anyone else had similar symptoms?
