For myself, given that I have celiac disease and gluten ataxia and lots of "other stuff" that gives me pain for most of my life, I've recently decided my desire to date and have a relationship shouldn't be put on hold for my health. History is showing me that my health may never really improve or if it does in one area, it's likely to be something else soon that comes crashing down. (Boy that sounded negative, eh? LOL. Just realistic I guess.)

So I'm going to try to get out and have a good, reasonable, safe, fun time. I'll invite folks to my house so I'm less stressed. I won't dump my load on my date and tell him all the details, but I will slowly ease him into understanding my daily reality as best as possible. After all, my wheelchair scares most potential dates away anyhow. If he stays despite all my health problems and is supportive and fits my other requirements, then I think that's a green light for moving forward.

Now to get a date....it's been 10 years! BA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!
