Does Anybody Else Deal With Lack Of Interest In Intimate Situations? If So Does It Add To Your Depression/anxiety?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

This is probably TMI if it's offensive I am sorry, I used to love to cuddle up and watch a movie or give random hugs as we walked by each other, or just be intimate was nice, Now? Please don't touch me!! I feel like I am failing in the physical part of my marriage and don't know how to change it, or Change the anxiety that goes with it

I think it’s probably not too unusual, given the fact that we are in pain so often as well as feeling β€œoff” mentally, digestively, and have sleep issues. Communication is very important. And often, just talking about it makes you want to cuddle up and give him a kiss when he is understanding and sweet! πŸ’•πŸ™πŸ»

I too feel like you do. But thank God my fiancee understands. Try to sit down with your hubby and talk to him. Don't hold it in. Be honest with him this should bring you two closer and stronger. Good luck and God bless.

Aww....feel for you..... pain will do that tho..... its natural to want to not be hurt anymore, a bummer tho...
Hope you can find pleasure with each other in lots of other ways..

Yes, but I had a complete hysterectomy 13 years ago and that changed everything. Maybe leave your hubby some notes and tell him you love him and appreciate all that he does for you. You hope you will feel better soon and you look forward to spending quality time together.

I think with fibro the pain and all the other symptoms effect our libido and cause us to feel this way. The best thing to do is to be honest, set time aside just to be alone together, it doesnt have to lead to sex, just take it slowly and be honest with each other, understanding is the first step and slowly take it from there.
