Is it easy to find a partner and/or maintain relationship when you have Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome?
People with experience in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome give their opinion on whether it is easy or not to have a partner or to maintain a realationship when you are diagnosed of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. What are the possible difficulties in having a relationship?
It can be very difficult to maintain relationships when experiencing ARDS. My advice would be to seek spiritual guidance and counseling as a couple and individually.
You probably won’t keep up with a very physical person. However, finding a partner that understands what you have experienced and your possible limitations shouldn’t be a problem. If so it’s not the right partner for you
