Psoriasis & FSD
I have a lack of desire like many women. This has been going on for 8 - 9<BR>years & seems to be getting worse. Recently I've started to get depressed about the whole situation, and having disturbing dreams. Been to 5 ob/gyns; 4 of them told me it's just temporary & to give it time, only 1 has listened to me and tried to help -with testosterone pills and other Rx's that I can't keep on my stomach. <BR>Quirk #1 - I have a very sensitve stomache and a high metabolism those medications I can hold down don't usually stay in my system very long. There are no specialists in this town or close by - nor can I afford to go to one. <BR>Quirk #2 - I have psoriasis from the top of my head to the tips of my toes - not solid but spotted and classified as Severe. <BR>On my lips, breasts, and vaginal areas - makes life very uncomfortable.<BR>I'm 33, 2nd marriage (very loving, supportive<BR>husband for 10 years), 2 girls (13 & 11), 95lbs or less for years, 5ft even,<BR>work out with a Bowflex 3 times per week for 25 minutes. Hubby & I own our own business and work 12 hours a day or more, 5 days per week. No cure for the psoriasis and none of the $$expensive treatments worked so I<BR>gave up on all of them and just stick with a good, mostly natural moisturizer. The only thing that really does any good is swiming in saltwater on a very sunny day with a high UV index and hope that I DO get a sun burn. I got 2nd degree sunburn once several years ago and my psoriasis went into remission for over a year.<BR> I do everything I can to avoid sex most of the time. He would rather it be the other way. When we do actually make love I almost always have at least one orgasm but sometimes multiple. Lately I haven't had any - very unusual. The main problem is it takes a very very long time to get my motor running. I've resorted to reading explicit books which are expensive and hard for me to find - mostly because of my shyness on the subject in a public sense. I<BR>have to read for at least an hour and a half before anything happens. I've tried the usual herbal stuff and a multitude of other things. Nothing has been any help.<BR> Any information/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
