My partner just finished his treatment about 4 months ago and his sex drive is now totally back to normal, it came back within a couple of weeks of finishing treatment ------no issues now
I'm a year past tx and things have returned to normal (whatever normal means).
A box of Godiva Chocolates and a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato
PLEASE!!!!! Don't tell me that.... I'm hoping to return to normal after I finish tx.

It is 3 years ...............sex.................what's that?
That was about the only thing I was able to enjoy and had the energy to do on treatment. :-)
I also had heightened sensitivity, but fortunately not to the 'touch me not' point many people experience.
I was like Diane. Too tired to do much of the "work". There were times when I was pretty much "touch me not" too. Just didn't feel comfortable in my skin.

(Sorry I can't speak to the issue I was not with anyone during my course of treatment but I can tell you I was so worn out I am pretty sure I could have cared less about that..........I just wanted to rest and be by myself when I got the chance).
Basically I could take it or leave it... as long as I don't have to do much of the work.
This is NOTHING like I was before tx... I used to drive my husband nuts. I think he is kind of relieved.

I'm in week 36 and hgb around 11 - up from a low of 9.1 with Riba reduction.
I still 'want' but sometimes my body won't or can't deliver. :(
This is a noted side effect as this forum and my Dr confirmed.
As they saying goes - this too shall pass (we hope!)
I found it better to 'try' when well rested and hydrated.
The Spirit was Willing but the Flesh was Weak
well same here ,no sex, and i don't like the same to be touched , this is really weird , i know he will come back after tx ..... i hope
Yep. It's weird, physical attraction is still there. But I don't like to be touched.
Hi Bruno-
The highest percentage of people seem to bounce back very well and quickly after tx. With two little children perhaps your wife is happy to have a little break anyway!
No loss of desire for me. It takes a bit more out of me as my hgb has is around 9.5 with procrit injections.
I am glad treatment is going relatively well for you.
Be Well,
Dave
