Kirei: Loss of libido is definitely not part of personality. It indicates that one HAD a libido before all of this occurred. I know at least that it is true for me. My situation is that I was with the right guy when all this happened, I went from having a normal sex life to wanting it perhaps one time a month just before my period when my hormones are doing what they should. I do however agree with you when you say, do what makes you happy... it's those things that pull us temporarily from our "hormonally depressed" states if only temporarily. Before I was diagnosed with a pit tumor, when I hadn't had my period for well over a year, my GYN put me on Protometrix (progesterone)... it was during that time that I saw some "normalcy" return. However, he did not keep me on it when I didn't get my period and sent me to the Endo. I was trying for a baby, so I didn't want to continue with the Protometrix (birth control), however... it's hard to have a baby when you are never in the mood to try. Almost a year has gone by since my diagnosis and I am considering going on Protometrix or trying to find a natural progesterone to see if I get that old energy back. Don't know if the baby thing will work out... I'm starting to get up there in years (almost 40). But I'm tired of feeling lousy. Here's to everyone's health... and to getting back all that we lost. |
