Is it easy to find a partner and/or maintain relationship when you have Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Relationships and Ankylosing Spondylitis: real patients share how diagnosis affected dating and partnership.
It is possible to find and maintain a relationship but it takes a certain person to understand. A lot of relationships do end due to AS but if you take and share things. Make adjustments and try to BOTH be understanding of what the other is dealing with it is possible. I say both because the other person might not suffer the physical pain, but they do suffer right along side

your partner should be informed about how AS affects us

No, it is not easy finding a partner unless there is a complete understanding of A.S. by the partner and can support in conversing about the disease.

Depends, it can be difficult for both parties when one got it. Be honest with your partner about it, tell them what they can help you with and if they can do it. Help each other deal with it.

This is a mixed bag, there are people who have trouble finding a partner who are accepting ABs vice verse. For me my spouse and I went through the 5 stages of grief with this disease; in the end a string relationship is needed to deal with AS.

È molto difficile perché spesso il.partner non capisce le difficoltà che si hanno con una malattia cronica e degenerativa.

No, but I do believe like anything, it always depend of the attitude. Ankylosing can it's true interfer with life and can request more help and understanding from a partner, but not necessarily.
Yet, it is important to explain clearly our needs and to suggest what can help us.
It is also important to remember that the partner become also affected by the illness and may also need to be heard and supported sometimes.
It's a journey that it's done together.

Not for me. You need a spouse, significant other who is truly commited and can role with the punches. My spouse did not want a sick wife, so he left. I have had difficulty getting potential mates to understand the disease and its implications. I can be fine for quite a while and then spend months in bed. Always be honest but positive. Talk to other couples and a ttherapist if needed. You can find ways around every hurdle.
