I am forty-eight years old and evey since I have been sick, sex has been a real problem like, uti infections, painful sex. I just don't date anymore. Oh well, men are disappointing to me right now anyway, it seems if I don't have sex, they want nothing to do with me. My marriage was ended because of this illness, because I couldn't do the dishes, and clean house, so when the sex diminished I was thrown out his life. I guess that is good if he is that narcissitic.

Still it is another form of reduction of quality of life from this illness.

 I'm not comfortable during sex anymore and I try to avoid it if I can, but have to give in now and again. I refuse to let this Fibro destroy my relationship, but sometimes it's really terrible and I know it can't be that great for my partner when I'm telling him it has to be fast so I can hurry and get it over with.

I really hope that once I have my pain meds going it will help.

 lol..........sex what is that????

I'm 28 and everytime i hear my boyfriend's keys at the door i have to pretend like im sleep. I have no desire none what so ever to have sex. He recently asked if i was lesbian. It has already ruined my relationship and i have even moved out. I don't want to talk to any guys at all and aside from the constant UTI's i am a big hypochondriac so i don't even want anyone to touch me with out washing their hands. I have even given up all soda and caffene. I have become allergic to almost everything especially citrus and grass it seems like if the wind blows in the wrong direction im sick or i have a uti or something going on. Im starting to think that i belong in a plastic bubble.

 O.K. I must respond to this post because sex has always been very important to me for ever I thought for ever my hormones were messed up cause I wanted it as much if not more than a man and I was the one that got ill if I didn't get it. I had to have a hysterectomy almost 2 years ago and was but on the clamaria patch and it didn't effect my sex drive don't get me wrong I haven't wanted it 3 times a day in years but at least a few times a week but at the first of the years hubby's ins. changed and they wouldn't cover my patches and they changed me to estradol and I have noticed a decrease in my sex drive but I agree that you can get in a rut and you must pull yourself out I have found the more I do it the more I want it so DON"T let yourself get in to long of a rut cause you just get use to not haveing it my obgyn prescribed me Nitrofurantoin mcr 50mg for the pain after but I also have intercystial cystitis but you could ask you ob if it would help.

 I hate to sound "mean" but am glad to know I am not the only one who gets UTI's and stuff more frequently after getting this horrible condition. I have to keep over the counter meds on hand all the time for the frequent onset of infections.

The lack of ability for intimacy has helped to destroy my relationship with someone I love very dearly. We are trying to work it out to remain friends at least but when intimacy is impossible in a relationship, it doesn't last very long. This disease has ruined so many areas of my life that as I said in another post, I would so love to be able to strike out at it with my anger but there isn't a way to do so. I try to fight back by doing all I can to take care of myself but there are so many days I can't do a tenth of what needs to be done. I continue to pray that a miracle will occur and a cure will be found or at least something that will help me deal with it easier. It's horrible to learn how many women (and men too.. just not sure how many have fibro) have to deal with this condition. Until the past month, I had only a vague idea of how many others were in the same position I am in and I know there are many sufferers out there that don't even know about this support group. I know finding it has made a big difference in my life. Just having an avenue to vent and offers of support given and received make my days brighter.

 What is sex? I lost that when I started taking all 13 medicines that I am on. I do not have a sex drive. Maybe I should look for a 14th medicine to help with that. Oh besides that menapause has kicked in. We have been married for 27years so I hope that will hold him for a little while. It is a good thing that he is 11years older than I because he has slowed down too.

 You know I told my doctor about the sex drive thing, and he did prescribe a pill, creams, and well I turned him down, as Im not married and can't find a man that isn't an alcoholic and doesn't snor. I can't be with anyone that snor as I already have a sleeping disorder.

 ok seriously I wasn't going to tell anyone this but what the heck. 4 year ago I had sex, and the next morning I woke up bleeding from where I pee. This went on for 3 hours before I called the ER, and I had these pads underneath me that they use for gunshot wounds and then when I went got to the hospital they catharized me. And nothing but blood then they tapped me for a blood transfusion, I had lost a lot of blood. After the transfusion they said that I had a small UTI infection, that was hardly noticiable, but after giving me inteveinous anti-biotics it stopped. The doctor in ER said he had never seen anything like that in his life. "Oh I love hearing that from an ER doctor."

Point is had I not went in to the ER I would have died from an SLIGHT UTI INFECTION. TO say the least that was it for me.
