Am 29 (this week) and was diagnosed with lupus a year and a half ago. This seems to have thrown a cold towel on any dating...can't seem to date for anyone for more than 5 dates...When i was diagnosed (i was pretty sick, then), my boyfriend of a year started getting cold feet and finally fled.

Everytime i have the "i have lupus" conversation, they cant run fast enough. Even with my explaining clearly about the facts and management of the disease..Am managing quite ok now.

Obviously lupus can be debilitating but i work full time at my very busy and challenging job as a business manager although i've had to make many changes to my life (but nothing so drastic).

Now am so tired of dating, i just want to quit COMPLETELY. I have even thought of taking a celibacy vow at my yoga center!

Please help me become less of a dating pariah..Or is there no dating for the chronically ill?

Kind Regards,
Windchime.
