Intro & Question

I have Cerebellar Ataxia caused by cancer (very rare), been in wheelchair for 15 years. I was real bad couldn’t even talk but got much better after cancer treatment. I still have shakes, strength problems and slur.
I have some symptoms coming back the Neurologist said they May come back but still very frustrating to have things happening.
Problems: swallowing, talking, getting tired, eye site problems and may have to start have shots in one, ect.

I’ve been asked recently if I can have “Sex”, I assume so but not sure (been a widow for 13 yrs) been checking doctor sites but no answers, I DO realize this is private but need to know? I meet a person that wants to marry me and don’t know if it’s fair to anyone? I have Great friends and family and active so not a must except feelings.
Why to go overboard with our feelings: laugh hard, cry easy & get VERY mad?

:thinking: It is a very personal decision whether or not to have sex. I would have thought it doesn’t really matter how long it’s been…just act on your feelings :slightly_smiling_face: Your partner is probably well aware of your concerns, so it’s not as though you’re ‘not being fair to him’.
We all have similar challenges to yourself, and I expect most people have found ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’:slightly_smiling_face:
