What to Expect When Significant Others Have Lupus

A lot of people automatically assume that when their partners are diagnosed lupus, that all aspects of sex, intimacy and relationships are immediately irrelevant. But, nothing can be more farther from the truth. As lupus manifests in a lot of ways, your partner may experience pains and inflammations in several places, and while it is important to bear these sensitive parts in mind to prevent physically aggravating the condition, lupus in no way affects the sexual appetite of most patients. Keep the romance and encourage playfulness, be flirty occasionally and try to make your lover understand that you still genuinely have interest in them no matter of their condition. As earlier mentioned, a couple of plans may be lost to the manifestations of the lupus, but restrategize other plans and make things work for you. If that romantic dinner at a 5-star hotel can’t work, order in and be sure to light those red scented candles around your home and make it a night that is equally as intimate.
