There is really no positive answer to this. Because the disease is progressive, burn out syndrome of caregivers is almost a guarantee. Loss of friendships, family relationships, is common place. Best of luck. It is extremely difficult to me in any type of relationships because you don’t know how you were going to feel from day today. It takes it’s toll.

No it's not easy, but it's very possible to find someone and maintain that relationship. I would have to say best thing to is be open about your conditions up front. I kind of laid it all on the table before my husband and I started dating and expected him to run away. Lucky me he stayed. Finding that one person whose strong and willing to stand by you through everything, because there's a lot of ugly that happens is amazing thing when it happens. Try to make the most of your good days with them, because they help you through your bad days.
