Crystal: Fortunately, my husband is very understanding and we do communicate very well. He never gets angry but I can see the disappointment in his eyes when i turn him down. He is very loving and understanding and has spent a lot of time educating himself on FM and I think that's what holds us together. But I know this is causing a tension between us and that is something I want to nip in the bud. I talked to him last night and told him we need to do a little more planning rather than be spontaneous. If he lets me know ahead of time, I can take my pain med and will be more likely to respond to his advances. Like I said, I can only take my pain med occasionally. If I take it more than twice a week, it can cause a rebound headache that will take forever to get over. So if i reserve it only for intimate times I think that will help.
Thanks again for your replies. I feel better about this already. I think doctors don't really consider side effects like this when prescribing. Like it is a sacrifice that isn't really important.View Thread
