Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone had problems with intimacy and MS? Or am I the only one?

Hi @JuliaWils,

How are you feeling today?

thank you for starting this discussion today! Intimacy issues and sexual dysfunction are often appear when living with MS. Have you discussed this with your doctor? I will tag some members who might want to share their thought on this topic.

No you are not alone. I suggest toys and resting before and after.

It's hard being married for 31 years & I just don't care if I have anymore! My husband doesn't get it either

You are not alone. So many things I miss about intimacy. I have been married for 43 years and barely a kiss many times a day isn’t enough. Not that we had sex everyday but we had it often enough to be missed. I read below that toys will help, I am going to try it. Maybe that will help.

No,sadly you are not alone. I was Dx with MS in 2005 although looking back ,I had been having symptoms for over 10 years and I had a normal sex life until 1-2 years ago, although I am also post menopausal so I think that is possibly part of the problem-major bummer as my poor husband has to deal with yet another thing MS has taken 😢
