Newsweek had a short article about the perils of dating with disabilities.
Prescription4Love.com is a website for those with a variety of disabilities and health conditions.
IrritatedBeingSingle.com is for people with IBS and Crohn’s.
It’s about time someone figured out that just because you’re disabled doesn’t mean you’re a eunuch. Wish me luck!
wow… ive always thought there should be a dating site like that about but hadnt heard of one till now.
I notice that CFS isnt on their list (IBS is thou)… maybe some CFS singles should email the site and ask for it to be specifically included.
I’d join up if I didnt now have a partner. Im still trying to get over to NZ to see how a physical relationship goes but all my medical issues have had me stuck here. Next week I hope to get the all clear to be able to go away.
Unfortunatly my partners health problems (severe diabetes, kidney issues and heart failure) have got much worst… and he now himself knows what severe tiredness is like (he’s been having to sleep several times a day).
What amazes me is even with him being so very very sick, he still most days manages to do far more than I can do. That sure does say something about just how bad CFS is as an illness to have.
Thank you for your email. We are out of the office and will be back August
15th.
We apologize for any inconvenience and will return your email, or call, as
soon as we return.
Have a great day!

Yep. My disability lawyer had mono last year, and one beautiful spring day
she took it into her head to enjoy the sunshine, take a walk. She got as far
as the front door and had to wait there for her husband to come home from work
and help her back to bed. While she was on the foyer floor, it dawned on her
"Karen has felt this way every day for years" and she had plenty of time to
contemplate that possibility.
She has a number of CFS patients as clients, but that was the first she was
able to relate what it’s like to not be able to do something as simple as
take a walk, or even sit on the front porch for some fresh air. With the flu,
she had always been able to get as far as the chairs outdoors.
