Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 So gald you are starting to feel better...knew it would happen but when you are going through it, it doesn't seem like it will ever get any better. You know, I'm glad you mentioned your libido...and it isn't just males. I noticed it when I was in treatment and my friend's husband asked me about it since their sex life had gone down the toilet (no pun intended, but...) since she has been on treatment. And no one ever talks about it. You are right....people should be aware that it can be a potential side effect. Sterling was extremely concerned about it and was embarassed to ask his support group...fortunately since the three of us have been best friends for over 30 years he was able to ask me if I had experienced it too. Did you test us about your post treatment labs or haven't you gotten them back yet. Oops...gotta fly...just got a call for a temp job for the week at one of the Chicago rock radio stations. Have a great day everyone....

Interferon saps the energy, makes you depressed, makes you throw up, etc., etc., none of which is conducive to a stellar sex life. I had a hard enough time getting up the energy to brush my teeth, let alone swing from the chandeliers <g>. The good news is that I had a VERY understanding and loving husband. :-) Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
