I think it can be easy to have a partner when you have lupus IF you are sticking to a treatment plan, get exercise & constantly work on communicating. Lack of these things can erode a relationship & lead to it's failure.

It’s difficult to maintain any kind of relationship especially when you have a chronic illness
Things that are usually not a big thing now are, like: finances, romance, quality time. Planning and scheduling is necessary by all

I think it is difficult, because we are a problem. We live in bitching, because our life is very difficult , full of pain, fatigue, bad humoradas.... For me it is very complicated. I am a very active person ny I love to make things, when I'm not well and I would like to do the same thing I did before and my strength, I do not accompany me frustro, I get angry, I cry ... That makes me feel powerless. Fortunately I have a man by my side that is not complicated by anything. Has been known to carry this relationship as normal as can be, ever has made me feel sick, nor do I sympathize. Just fits my times and pace. I've been going for 12 years with lupus has not been easy, but it is LIVE.

My life changed, my partner was the best therapy and my best medicine when we started my lupus is calm down, in addition to their support is unique.
The relationship is sometimes difficult, but with love everything can be, respect, and love :)

It is not easy but it is not impossible, nor is it easy to find a partner without lupus

I have not ever had any problem. It is evident that living with a person with a disease carries with it certain limitations, but everybody has some limitation and the our is this. But a person is much more than your disease. The tips are to be yourself, to talk about the disease with naturalness, as a part of our life (an important part but not the only one), and interact like any other person, because we can love and be loved as any other.

There is no impediment for you to do your normal life.
The disease is in your body, not your mind. So to live happy with your other half.

Having a physical illness or autoimmune, you do not have to be an impediment to you to do your normal life in the sense of sentimental, perfectly can be partner and can lead a relationship.
We have come to this world to be happy, not a few undead.
