April,
Have your reverse T3 thyroid checked. That and other hormones can cause you low sex drive. Of course being tired and in pain don't make for great romance.

Hi April,

If you're taking any anti-depressant medications, they can cause a low (or non-existant) sex drive as well.......

Hi april, yes, I go through stages of no sex drive. If you know in advance that you have a night (or afternoon

) with just the two of you, prepare yourself. Don't do anything to cause a flare-up the day before. Just pamper yourself. Take a nice long hot bath. Take a long nap. Then that day, or night, calm your mind and forget about your symptoms for the day (hard to do I know).

You just really, really need to put the relationship first on this day. No talk of symptoms, no yawning

, and get a baby sitter if you can!!

And if you have a big bathtub, or a hot tub (which I do not

that would be great for the both of you!!
