I'm getting ready to leave my office for awhile, but the title of your thread caught my eye. I can come back if you want to kibbutz this about a bit. Though I'm divorced and have no potential sexual partner on the horizon, I'll tell you that I've been a HD woman most of my life...
That being said, I'm very close to having a hysterectomy done (at the age of 45). I have a uterine biopsy scheduled for Tuesday, and I'd LOVE to give you a glimpse of the life of a woman who is facing all these issues. Before I go, I will tell you that there are many women who are NOT candidates for estrogen therapy or any type of hormone treatment. So please don't assume that there is a one pill cure all for your W.
I'll try and level with you as much as I possibly can. I will tell you that some of the posters have said things that resonate with me--losing the core of my femininity, seeing myself as a middle aged drone, trying to cope with the medical fallout the best I can AND try to keep my wits intact and work diligently on the belief that I'm an attractive and sexy woman. The fact is that I feel awful and it's very difficult to convince me that someone is going to want me after all of this.
I've got to run, but I'll close with a very bold statement: I'm glad that I don't have someone wanting to have sex with me right now. It has everything to do with the whole caboodle and not anything about sex specifically.
