Re:Depression/Pain/Chronic Illness

[Guest guest]

I too have clinical depression- it started a few years after the PA did. I

can tell you from my own experience that when I am in moderate/severe pain-

especially in my back, neck, etc... I am not at all thinking about s--x.

I do not want any pressure on my joints at all.

I just want to sit on my heating pad, drink lots of fluids and take my pain

meds and pray that the flare will peter out soon!

My hubby understands. He says that after 40, his desire dropped off

dramatically- kind of like male menopause. That helps me with the guilt I

was feeling.

Love to you all,
