Re: a strange symptom and/or question (hyper state stimulating libido)

February 7, 2007

When I was hyper, and especially when I was in storm... I had a very.....

strong libido... It never involved same sex urges... but the word 'no'

wasn't in my vocabulary with my BF.. in fact I often chased him around

the couch!!!

I don't know if it's just embarrassing and no one talks about it, or if

not that many of us, when hyper, have such elevated hormone levels in

that area...

If you tell your doc, he might be able to run some tests on the hormones

involved???

I would suspect, though, that it will ease off for you, as it did for me.
