First of I want to apologize ahead of time for being personal and so forward. My husband and I have been together for 21 years and he loves making love. My husband is very aware of my fibromyalgia and understand what fibromyalgia is but I don’t he understand the complete depth of fibromyalgia. When we make love my back, hips, and legs hurt really bad. I want to please my husband but I don’t want to be in pain. My husband is loving and understanding man. Does anyone have this problem and how should I approach this?
This is something that I'm facing and it is very stressful as even though they understand occasionally it becomes very difficult for them to handle. I have this issue for the last 4 years but now it is very difficult as the level of pain is so much that my mind just want to avoid the pain rather than having the pleasure. The desire is hardly there and I don't know if that is because of the condition or some other hormonal issues. Thanks for bringing this up as is quite difficult!
I totally get what you ate saying. My husband is a very caring person who loves me very much. When we were still able to be intimate he would watch my face and he could tell when it was painful for me and he would stop. He said that he couldn't enjoy it when it was obviously so painful for me. We have been married nearly 42 years and have many talks about this area of our marriage. We have intimate moments in other ways now, after 42 years we still hold hands and cuddle. All though cuddling is almost as difficult when it hurts to be touched. We have settled in to our new life and we are very happy here. Hope this makes sense to you. Good luck to you.
Sonia - you did get a script for cannabis to treat fibromyalgia? It’s still illegal here but I have entertained the idea of trying it for the sake of me & my love life with my husband!
