I am 21 and have been in a semi-serious relationship for three and a half years up until the past few weeks when it all has fallen apart. There is a chance we may fix things but i dont know. There is not a doubt in my mind that i am in love with him and i want to be with him. I feel like i have lost control over everything in my life. I accepted the fact that I couldnt control my health years ago but now i feel truly helpless. And on top of it all i am in the middle of a flare up which is making every inch of my body hurt. I am trying to get through this, part of me is scared that I will never find another guy who accepts me for me and be there to take me to get cortisone injections or remicade infusions... I love him, my heart is broken, my body hurts... i am so overwhelmed.

Hey Lindsey - I am sorry that you are having trouble with what sounds like a good relationship. Is there something specific? My last relationship ended about a year before I got my dx of RA, and haven't been in one since. I wouldn't know what to do. I can only advise that if you do love him and he loves you it is worth the fight to work it out. I get the feeling that there aren't many gentlemen out there that are willing to be involved with women who have serious health issues. While RA itself won't kill you, there is a lot of rough stuff. The pain is horrid and some people just can't handle watching someone they care about feel like we do. I just wanted to encourage you and your guy to stick it out and hang in there. I would give just about anything to have a man in my life, but there doesn't seem to be many around. Take care!

Cindy

Hello everyone. I feel the pain that you feel about your relationships. My wife left me after 27 yrs. I've had RA since 1991. I've online dated a few times...but as soon as they find out I've got RA they don't stay to long. My meds really controll mine well...most people can't tell that I've got to much wrong with me. Tomorrow will be another day....things will change....sometimes it just takes time. Best to you all....Roger

Hi Roger
My name is Janet and I had RA since 1977 and I am now 45 and single. I understand how hard it is to find someone to share your life with when having RA or any other problem. In a perfect world the only thing that would matter is who you are. If you want to talk pls e-mail me @ mistify60@hotmail.com
Take care and keep smiling!

Good morning, I hope your feeling better. I that everyone goes through this type of chapter once or more in their lives.I feel the same, but I have been married for 26yrs and my wife is growing more distant all the time. We dont hardly even talk any more. She has always been an ice princess and now an queen, I not sure what is going on and I being to not really care. I can go on and on but this isnt the place. If it wasn't for my friends and family I would have giving up awhile back. Sometimes you have to look deep in yourself then walk that extra mile. I really hope you find what makes you happy.
