Sex and intimacy is a hard topic within the chronic illness realm. I talk with  fellow blogger and advocate Leandra Peters about how she navigated her sex life while also battling chronic pain, symptoms and treatment. Things become far more complex when  you are battling the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that come with chronic Lyme disease  Your body image changes when you are sick.  How to be with someone sexually when you don't feel like yourself.  Loosing your "sex appeal" (mentally) Feeling like you aren't doing your part to maintain intimacy because being present is almost impossible at times. "It's a battle" you have to fight in order to maintain a sex life.  Create a boundary for intimacy, by implementing a Room-Date!Even if you can't have sex, you can create intimacy! Communication is KEY. Talk through what you both need and want.  It won't be forever, it is a season that passes.    Sponsored by Envita Medical-The clinic that saved my life!
