Hi everybody, any advice on how to manage the old sex life as ms progresses - from a lady’s point of view?
Hi Just realised you’ve had no replies so thought I’d bump you up. As my ms is mild to date, I thought someone else may be better placed to help Good luck Jane xx
Hi Anon Is there a particular problem on the intimancy?
Hi Anon!
Don’t forget that you can talk to your gp or ms nurse who might be able to help with any problems but if thats not possible then can you be more specific about the help people can give you?
Are you suffering from lack of sensation/numbness/fatigue/pain or something else?
I’m sure there is someone on here who can help if you can outline your problems.

Hi everybody,
Ya mobility is my main problem - hard to maneover legs around the bed!!! Also while I do have sensation, I find it very hard to reach climax and when I do it’s so weak that it’s hardly worth the effort
MRI shows mainly spinal damage so I guess that this is most of the problem with the singals not getting through and all of that.
It can be very frustrating!!!
=(
sorry I cant help with the mobility issues but i have had problems reaching climax.
I found sex toys can help with this.
The hitachi magic wand worked for me but it is a bit pricey at around £80. There are cheaper alternatives but i don’t know if they will be as powerful.
If you decide to try the hitachi magic wand make sure you buy from a reputable source as i’ve just had a quick look at amazon and ebay and there are a lot of fakes out there. It looks like you can get them cheaper than £80 now as well. You need to do a bit of research so you don’t get ripped off. Good luck.
thanks for your advice - it’s another problem I could do without - it can at least take you away from ms for a while if things are working properly=)
Must do some research regarding the wand

Hi,
As if MS wasn’t bad enough, it messes up nooky time!
I occasionally have isues with numbness, so for christmas, I bought my other half, a slap and tickle willy ring! It vibrates for him and her, and it’s really quite cheap at only £15.99 form anne summers!
Have a go, what have you got to lose?

well since my partner left years ago havent slept with a soul
health has been bad but is settled a bit last year
so am considering it- as always loved sex-the fun closeness and intimacy
Had no confidence or desire when he left but a year ago joined a friendship group, found it unthreatening and some of the guys seem really nice chaps
but…
confidence to do anything frisky is missing- cos of age, inexperience in new dating era as well as double incontinence, pads, cream blah
but if i carefully plan ahead am thinking of giving it a go-Halleluliah!!!
have to keep awake to get there tho- my biggest prob!

I agree. Since my last relapse though, I find that my urethra releases urine when I climax with the wand. I’ve given up on sex now. Having to try to have sex lying on a couple of towels isn’t fun. It’s bloody humiliating. My poor husband, he understands, but it’s not fair.
Well there’s an offer I won’t find difficult to refuse.

I suppose all of the meds could be affecting ability to climax too - would muscle relaxants like baclofen etc have adverse affects I wonder
It’s so cruel, not to be able to enjoy the basic things in life. Loads of good comments though. Also, some hospitals, and a few GP surgeries have sex therapists, that can help, with physical suggestions and the emotional side off this. I think they are thin on the ground, but it maybe worth a try. I had the very conversation with my gp last week, how unsexy i feel when i’m pooping so much. She suggested considering this option, NHS free, if it’s available, relate £50 a session, so i’m told. Food for thoought. I wish you well and some enjoyment soon
Hi
