SEX....and now that I have your attention

[Guest guest]

Seriously. The muscle pain, stifness and muscle spasming make it really hard for

me and

my partner to have any satisfactory sex. There is no position that is

comfortable for either

of us. We both have huge fear about me getting injured. I get tired so easily.

It's been a

realy long time, I mean too long. Now I'm starting to not even be interested

and I'm sure

that's not good for me,or us as a couple.

The Pain Speciaist asked what areas of my life were affected by pain and me and

the mrs

said in unison " sex " . Weenie Dr didn't say anthing at all, let alone something

helpful. He

just made a note of it on the chart. I can imagine his weenie little mind now

" Hmm,no sex

since June--Psychological symptom, disregulation of sexual funtioning; patient

exhibits

hostility and frustration " Ya know I can't decide if I want to go to medical

records and get a

copy of his report or not- either way I will still despise the little weasle.

I was reading that maybe the best time for people with fibro to try sex is late

morning or

early afternoon. The logic to that was that in the evening we are exhausted and

hurt bad

all over (not fun) and in the morning we wake up very stiff for the first few

hours (I wake

up feeling like I been beaten with a stick all over) and by mid day we may be

over our

morning stiffness and not yet badly fatigued.

Any ideas anyone?

Peace
