Omg, I'm not a male but yes my sex drive is zero!!! We used to lead a fairly active sex life, I think, but Fibro has changed that drastically!!! I have no interest whatsoever and don't enjoy it at all when we do engage! My husband is totally pissed and doesn't understand but hell, neither do I!! I don't know if it's the pain that's turned me off, the energy it takes or just the Fibro itself?? It's very hard on the marriage but what part of Fibro isn't? Good luck!

@A MyFibroTeam Member, I just wanted to add that women that are of menopause age get put on low-dose testosterone to boost their sex drive. Menopause plus fibromyalgia equal very low testosterone in women. Getting a blood test is the easiest route to solving this problem. I was put on low dose testosterone and my sex drive is back to equaling a 16-year-old boy ! Lol! Don’t hesitate to get it done.

Until i was put on cymbulta my drive was active and 0 issues since that nasty drug go bye drive even stopping it a year later still 0 drive and my gp is saying its do to the drug interfearing with my brain chemistry so shes not sure if its perm damage or will go away in time nuro said it depends on how badly the drug effected my brain.

I used to think it would be rough if two people with FM were married, but on this topic, that might work out pretty well. Haha!
