Happy New Year to everyone!! I've just dropped into this because I've mentioned on here before about my loss of libido, and I've recently decided to add the subject to chapter four of my book. I thought I had an understanding partner, after being together for twelve years, he cleared off in April last year, and I have to say I feel responsible for our break up! My loss of sex drive killed it all, we were best friends and very tactile together before the drugs' side effects really got a grip, I think Keppra specifically was the last straw! I used to say to him, if we don't get help, or talk to a counsellor, or some professional person, that I would end up losing him, he would always assure me that we'd be together forever regardless of the lack of sex!! I'm being honest when I tell you here, we hadn't "made music" together since 2006!!! I think it is vital that newly diagnosed people are told about this possible side effect, from the drugs and the condition itself, let alone what life has to throw in along the way eh guys??!! Like in my case, the menopause, losing mum, jobs etc. Sadly, just before Xmas, I found out that he was seeing another woman, and is marrying her in July!! Well, I can't really blame him, and am surprised he stuck around as long as he did, I guess it shows how strong the rest of our relationship is! I've still got no libido whatsoever, and am now faced with the prospect of "dating" again!!! Oh my god, what a thought!!!???? What I'm going to do when I get to typing the loss of libido into the book, I'll be asking you guys for your experiences, completely anonymously of course, as I think it is vital that I put examples in the book, as I am at the moment, about our auras, just to reassure others that they are not alone in what they are experiencing, and just to prove it, look at what this person has been through etc etc... I love this site too, and it has been a great support, it is just such a shame that we didn't have the internet and all this support in the 1980's, but I want to make sure people know it's there for us now!
