Many Americans over 50, single or coupled, may be concerned by relationship and intimacy pressures. We all struggle with these challenges, but they can be especially tough for people with chronic illness and may include:
·         How to cope with intimacy when you’re just not feeling up to it
·         When to talk to a new partner about your chronic disease (2nd, 5th or 10th date?)
·         Explaining your symptoms without sounding like a drag
·         Why it’s okay to keep some things to yourself in a relationship
