Members openly discussed how fibromyalgia affects intimacy, with many sharing that pain in the hips, back, breasts, and pelvic area has made physical closeness uncomfortable or even unbearable, sometimes compounded by medications, surgeries, and scar tissue. Several members emphasized that intimacy can take many forms beyond intercourse, highlighting the importance of communication, patience, and creativity with partners who are understanding and supportive. A recurring theme was the emotional weight of reduced libido and physical limitations, balanced by gratitude for loving partners and the determination to maintain connection despite the challenges.

I have a lot of issues, such as @A MyFibroTeam Member mentioned the breast pain, so that kind of takes the fun lout of it all. We still have a very active sex life, but I have less libido. Certain things have changed due to hip pain.
