Hi Reann,
I agree with Winegirl. My sex drive was non existent due to anxiety and for me it would increase the fears about my health. I had major physical symptoms and was worried that I would make them work.
Like Winegirl, my OH is very supportive and loving and I would never have dreamed of looking elsewhere. I think that most husbands know it won't be forever.

HI Reann,
I have to say I agree with winegirl and sare, my oh is very supportive and loves me and our children. Yes he asks and sometimes he gets but he doesnt see it as the end of the world if he doesnt get it.
I think if he considered looking elsewhere for it then I think out realtionship would have more problems than just our sex life. I dont see why we should do what we dont want to. My oh loves me and says that its not important and that any caring partner would feel the same.
However, its nice to see your view. Have you had experince of loss of your sex drive due to pni?

Totally agree with you Winegirl.
We as women are under so much pressure in life that we can do without it at home too, and I do believe an understanding partner would not expect the person they love to 'perform' and would certainly not go looking elsewhere.
It would be interesting to know Reann if you yourself are suffering for PNI?

I agree with winegirl. We need to look after ourselves during this difficult time and making ourselves do things we're just ready to do is only going to hinder our recovery.
I the same as winegirl had a traumatic labour and thought of sex makes me feel sick and although back on the pill the idea of being pregnant again makes me want to get steralised!
I think that you just need to go with the flow and wait until your body and mind are at one again. My husband is not exactly understanding of the situation but he loves me and is dealing with it as best he can.
be good to yourself nickycartwright

Oh K - as I was reading the early posts I was thinking of my reply and then read that you had already written it!!!!!
I feel so much better now, knowing that I'm not the only one who feels like this.
Thanks girls.

I think its a very common problem spaj, more common than we all seemed to think. Although I'm assured it does come back, I have to admit we are a little better when I'm not having a blip, so I'm sure it really does get better

Hi
I too was not bothered about sex when in the depths of PNI but still enjoyed it when I got down to it. However, I had no libido when on antids which really upset me. I couldn't orgasm anymore (sorry if that too much info). Slowly slowly it returned and was low but once I came off antids I couldnt' get enough!
I think if you generally feel rubbish your sex drive is bound to suffer. Often men take it very personally; as if you don't find them attractive anymore. They dont' realise it's a symptoms of this illness.
