Embarrassing, personal talk ...

Hi! My name is Andi and i'm dry like the Sahara desert in a sand storm and it's ok because i'd rather be looking at my new clothing catalogues anyway. I actually feel bad for my husband because he's like "how longs the dry spell gonna last" and i'm like hmmm are we in a dry spell? I guess i didn't really think about it...how could i the new spring clothes catalogs are coming in? We all seem to be having the same issues, intriguing. I have no real answers for us either. Be Well, i'm gonna go read the Victoria's Secret spring catalog and have my own version of an ****** Hugs, ANDI

Hi Deanna - Thanks for posting! I've been tired and unmotivated lately - unmotivated about everything, including the sex drive. I'm single and not sexually active right now, but I've noticed that my interest in sex tends to fluctuate along with my period. Around ovulation and the start of the period, I'm more interested; the rest of the time I could care less. But overall I'm tired/fatigued. All my labwork came back ok also. Maybe our bodies are still adjusting to all the changes. Re: dryness - I've definitely had that. Also, I now have the worst yeast infection I've ever had (I've been on an antibiotic for an ear infection, and antibiotics tend to trigger them). I'm attributing it to the dryness and other changes. Probably too much information, but beware next time you need to take an antibiotic. You are not alone! Hope this helps! heather

I've noticed I always get yeast infections when I don't drink enough - without fail So that teaches me to keep up my fluid intake! Maybe it's connected to dryness?

Mine left ages ago. my poor hubby. we have slowly developed a 'routine' so that he at least 'gets some' but it sure is not something that even occurs to me to want to do. sometimes I will 'remember' and say, okay, you have 4 minutes to complete the transaction. heehee he is usually pretty good about staying within his time limit. snicker

What sex life....lol... I hear what your saying.. I had a serious increase after I started to loose weight but now it seems to be missing... I think I am ashamed of the way my body looks right now.. not that I wasn't insecure of the way it was before but to look so nice in clothes and than look so weird with them off bothers me.. I wont even change infront of my other half..

Carla, I totally get you on not wanting to change in front of your partner. I thought I'd be all proud of my new body but I find that I'm terribly self conscious of all my extra skin. And I have lots of it! My husband doesn't mind the skin at all ... but it bothers me. I didn't think it would be such an issue for me but it is! You ladies are the BEST! I'm so glad I could share this with you. It makes me feel oodles better to know I'm not the only one going through this!!! Deanna

You know, when I was large I had no problem changing infornt of my hubbie. Now I am so much more self concious and aware of my skin. He doesn't mind and laughs (in a nice way) but I think I look worse than before. I did not imagine this would happen. Hopefully as we get smaller and get the skin sorted out (or at least it reassigns itself) we should feel better. I imagine that initially the skin looks worse and then adjusts itself a bit? We'll just have to wear sexy basques that hold it all in & up, but allows 'access' hee hee.

MEEEEE TOOOOOO and my husband is over it..... I got some KY as well... I am so tired though... I get tired in the middle of the day.... Called my doc but have not gotten a call back.... Hope this goes away for us...

feel a little funny posting on this, but will only say that I am so tired by evening that I often just want to go to sleep. but if the energy is there, I'm rarin' to go. I'm curious about the whole fatigue thing, cuz it seems like many of us are saying that we're tired a lot. wonder how our new "systems" come into play with that.
