Pretty much since the onset of fibro I have noticed that intimacy with my husband causes cramping as painful as durring my menstral cycle. (I know my spelling is aweful i am sorry). Is this something that other women have noticed as a result of fibro?

Yes, this is a main complaint for me. I usually have to warm up I a tub to soak all of my muscles including my abdomen and low back and pelvic area before sex. And I have to do this after sex. I also use a heating pad afterwards. I am not sure if it is from Fibro, but you are not alone in experiencing it. Sex is so difficult now that the weather is turning. We used to be very active and now it is hard for me to handle even once a week. I miss it. I need to find other ways around the pain so I can enjoy my hubby more.

Yes i do! I typically take a warm bath to loosen up my muscles before and after sex! It helps with the cramping alot!!

Would definitely go to see your Doctor regarding cramping with intercourse.
For me I don't have any real interest in being intimate with my husband, but I do so because he gets angry about it, my pain levels just don't make me interested anymore.
