I have officially had MS since 1995 and being married 5 years. My libido and ability to have sex ended a couple years later. Luckily my husband who is 5 years younger has always been supportive and understanding. He was in his early 30s when it started and has stayed with me for almost 28 years. Our joke is "how do you cure a Nymphomaniac? Give her MS. lol

MS has impeded my sex life. I have numbness in my hand it sex causes it to flare bad! I have to take aleve before and its very frustrating. Then i cant be in the act forever. Its truly taking away from our sex life. My thats my take. If you ask my husband everything is just fine and he tells me not to worry

Look at MS as if it’s the invisible woman that wants your spouse. Don’t let that b win. Treat libido lack as something you’ll strive to defeat with all the spare time you get. Research about it and if you find something interesting just share it with your spouse during alone times.
Speak with your MS specialist about it cause he/she might have good insight as to how ms affects libido lack and might prescribe something to help you beat the b. MS can affect any part of your body that has to have good myelin sheath. With billions of nerve cells,each having its own myelin sheath, why would the sex drive cell be any different than the cell that tells your foot not to drop? It probably would not be any different and it’s just a matter of recognizing it as an MS symptom and working with your team of doctors to find help will be necessary. You have got nothing to lose by letting your doctors know as simply as you stated in your question. God bless you.

“Sexual arousal begins in the central nervous system, as the brain sends messages to the sexual organs along the nerve pathway in the spinal cord. MS-related changes to these nerve pathways can directly or indirectly impair sexual functioning.”

Thanks for taking the time to answer Susan, good to know I’m not alone with this. I’ve got to the point that I want to get a divorce as I’m fed up of having to keep saying the same things over again to my husband because my symptoms are very sensory so quite invisible! He looks hurt every time and makes it about him! Just another thing to deal with xx

Thank you 11Rudy for your detailed and extremely helpful answer. I will take your advice and talk through with my consultant and hopefully persuade my DH to come along too. Maybe him hearing it from an 'official' point of view will stop him feeling so rejected and angry.
