Delicate question: Sexual problems

deleted_user

For me it started a few years ago that I lost all interest in sex. At first it was pain from having had endo for nearly 20 years, then I had a hysterectomy in 2005 and started hormone replacement therapy. Since then, things have gotten worse. With each year it seems to get worse. Since earlier this year I haven't been able to even feel comfortable 'doing it'. My husband is a very patient man and loves me, bless him for that. I recently read that the inability to achieve orgasm or even feel sexually aroused can be due to MS. Is this true? Is anybody else 'suffering' from this? If so, how are you handling this?

Thank you!

Oh I so know what you mean. I've been going through the same thing. I do had endo which led to the Hysterectomy..and my sex drive just got worse when all these MS symptoms started. I want to be with my husband but I'd rather go to sleep..I know my body just can't do anything like that anymore without pain being the result.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
