the journey of a Cushing’s survivor

Honey, not tonight

I find myself saying that to my significant other more than I thought I would at this point in my recovery. Internet, I know this is a sensitive subject so please bear with me OK?

It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with Cushing’s did I finally have an answer as to why I wasn’t in the mood to have sex E-V-E-R. I attributed it to being busy, being tired, being a full-time student, being a mom, being everything. I thought it was just me. But when I learned that having a low libido is a side effect from Cushing’s, I thought maybe it’s not me after all? All this time I felt like Austin Powers who lost her mo-jo.

I’ve made progress in some areas and my libido has picked up from time to time. Thing is, I’m still not feeling like my old self and it’s been nearly a year since I’ve had surgery.

I’d like to ask all of you out there, do you still suffer from low libido now that you’re in recovery from Cushing’s?

Glad to know it’s not just me. Holy crap, eh? Well, I’m hoping it gets better soon enough! Good luck on your end!

No it’s not just you - or me - it’s a lot of women (and men too). Thanks for reading!
