Sex, Sexuality and Relationships with a Neurological Diagnosis
Hello everyone,
I would appreciate your help and support here.
I was diagnosed with GBS in March 2019 and was admitted to the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery (NHNN) for eight months. I work as a psychotherapist and counsellor.
As a result I am invited back to the hospital to give a talk to the clinical team titled “Sex, Sexuality and Relationship with a Neurological Diagnosis”.
What does it mean to commit to someone “in sickness and in health”? Is it possible to keep the romance alive when one partner is ill and the other is a carer?
I’ve been in touch with Caroline Morrice from Guillain-Barre and Associated Inflammatory Neuropathies (GAIN) GBS/CIDP-UK and she has suggested that the feedback and outcome from this survey would be of benefit in helping the organisation to enhance the support they can offer.
I would be interested to get your feedback on how relationships and sex were affected by your neurological illness. If you have any thoughts that you are comfortable sharing, I would really appreciate if you could make use of the following survey to do so.
