Newly diagnosed health issues - stop dating ?

[baggiesmalls]

I've been single for 4 years and live alone

I spent around 2.5 years on date apps with no success- lots of dates , a couple of flings , but nothing real .

I'm 51 and deleted all the date apps around 6 months ago as I was deflated and fed up and just decided to concentrate on me, hobbies , friends etc

Now I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis which has been crippling, lots of other issues too , gluten intolerance, pernicious anaemia, and I'm soon to start taking methotrexate.

Felt a bit overwhelmed.
The other day I reinstalled bumble , within 24 hours I've hidden my profile .

It was hard enough before the diagnosis.. would you just give up now ?

I'm always tired . I can't be arsed anymore but the thought of actually being alone for ever isn't a happy one either .

I know and I dont look ill, doc cheered me right up by asking twice to confirm my age before declaring she didn't believe it , which was nice ! My face is the only thing not hurting 😂

I'm just wary of how I'm moving at the moment . And my high heels are consigned to a shelf where I gaze at them lovingly .

Ok @baggiesmalls I'll do that. 😃You can access it from the mobile website too.

Hopefully the drugs will make you feel better soon and you can get back to dating, it's miserable being in pain.
