    Hi it could be the meds but tbh its probably the illness it's self I too have no desire to have sex I hid it from my partner as best I could and would try to avoid it as much as I could and that was before I started on pregabalin etc I no longer have a partner so it doesn't bother me now but I'm sure there might be something your doctor can give you to help or maybe a change in the meds your talking now might help x

    That is true as I think my daughter thinks I exaggerate as she cannot see what is wrong or maybe thinks Iam attention seeking..

      Hi Hun None of us want fibro we didnt ask for it none of this is our fault. we cant help how we are we do our best to get through each day to look after our children and to try lead a normal life. You deserve a medal for working full time children to look after I dont know how you do it bless you. unless you have fibro you dont understand the impact it has on us. its not only had a big impact on our lives but its affecting our loved ones too. what we we need from our loved ones is patience love understanding and support. we would do the same for them if they were in our shoes. Little help support goes along way to make our lives more bearable. Flaming fibro its got a lot to answear for. you take care your a real gem he should be proud of you.
