I told my husband I was going to see a.Dr.about my lilbo. He been keeping away form seems. So I told I going to see a psychology. He told me he did want answer about if this marriage will work. I doing good with my Foerster daughter, and my son finally spending weekend with.me. my hubby all so worry about medication I am on. Help!
Hi Glenedia,
Sometimes it is hard for our spouses to understand that the meds we take have an effect on our libidos. If you haven't already, try to explain this to him and let him know that it makes you feel bad too. Perhaps you could find a therapist that works with couples and you could both go. I know when my husband hears something coming from a doctor he listens more than when it comes from me :) A good marriage takes good communication, and when health issues are involved communication becomes even more important.
Hang in there and concentrate on the good things, like your son coming to visit. Big Hugs to you tonight!!
Thank you so much!
Hi Glenedia
It is good that your husband worries it shows he cares. I hope he will go to the doctor and psychologist with you education is a great thing. My husband couldn't handle my medical problems and we are no longer together plus the fact that he always had a girlfriend. I hope every thing works out for you.
Great advice, Sue! And I would add that the meds affect many of us the same way. You can't help it if the meds are affecting your libido, it's the med, not you or your desire. BIG difference! Sue's answer is perfect, so I'll end here.
Hugs,

EVERYONE has offered you wonderful advice. I would add one thing: see your doctor and tell him or her about this problem. It's possible that a different dosage or a medicine for the libido might help out. Or he or she might be able to direct you to an over the counter product that is helpful.
My best to you and to everyone with this problem,
Petunia
