Living with someone when you have a chronic issue is never easy. Relationships are who you are, not what you have.

i personally use prayer as my number one support. if your mate care for you than that is a good support to have. just trust in GOD and lead not to your own understanding.

When a person is suffering from chronic pain or other symptoms that affect the mood, physical and mental, it is logical that you can affect in relationships.
Keep it as depend on the attitude of the patient. A negative attitude will affect each and every one of the aspects of your life , affecting their health and personal relationships.
It is better to go to professionals such as a psychologist to help you in this aspect. This is not to search guilty of the situation but to understand situations in order to improve your quality of life.

The advice I would give is to be understanding, patient, and above all peers, have a lot of love and compassion first with ourselves and then yes, look for a relationship.
