Is it easy to find a partner and/or maintain relationship when you have Sarcoidosis?
People with experience in Sarcoidosis give their opinion on whether it is easy or not to have a partner or to maintain a realationship when you are diagnosed of Sarcoidosis. What are the possible difficulties in having a relationship?
Absolutely. However it can be very physically and emotionally draining for everyone involved. Being a caregiver can be very difficult to watch your loved one endure the affects of this disease.

Keeping a relationship can be stressful on people once someone has become sick or sarcoidosis because some people have high maintenance of Health level and the partner cannot handle it. Some people stick around and stay it out it just depends on the person.

In all relationships there are times when one person may become ill, but living with someone who has sarcoidosis is challenging. It is dependent on the individual circumstances of both people as to whether any relationship works and is sustained over a lifetime. You are no different to anyone else with an illness and the disease does not define who you are or what choices you make in life although it may limit them.

It can be difficult but I have a very loving and caring wife. Yes having Sarcoidosis is life changing but so is having children! It all depends on your attitude, if you make your illness, the main thing in your life instead of your partner then a relationship will falter.

Some people who have sarcoid their lives change so much their respective partners lives also change
Many adapt and continue to have a loving relationship
Just remember your body has changed you will have to adapt to your condition so will your partner
In some cases the healthy partner can no longer cope with the life change and can break up with their partner who has gone through a massive life change

I think as with any relationship the most important thing is communication. Be upfront and honest and don't try to hide anything. But also do not be overdramatic about your condition either. Sarcoid does not have to Define your life.

You are still a human being And you need to be loved just like everyone else. If you find the person who will stand by your side through all of your doctor's appointments there a keeper. Sad part of this illness is in Some cases if their relationship is not strong and they're not the right Person for you they don't stick

My illness was an ongoing issue for my husband until I finally got a diagnosis and started taking him to my doctor appointments. I think it is hard for our loved ones to see us in pain, go to the doctor, and the doctors say they can't figure it out. This happens, sometimes, for years for people living with Sarcoidosis as it's a difficult disease to detect. It's hard for us to hear this, and harder for our loved ones to understand that we are suffering without a direct reason or treatment.

My first advice to you who are looking for a partner is "honesty". My husband and I asked the important questions, i.e. "do you see yourself sitting on the front with me just talking when we are older". Then, 10 years into our marriage I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. I asked him, "are you in it to the end?" "If not it's your time to run and go." That was 22 years ago and we're happier than ever.
