@MariaS , I didn't want this topic to disappear down the list without a response, as obviously it is something which is important to you. Now, I haven't got a similar situation to relate to as I'm a man, but there could be one of a couple of issues going on or a combination. Primarily, you may feel that you are now "damaged goods". Add into that some of the MS symptoms, like spasticity and fatigue, and you may feel that you are no longer desirable. Now, your husband probably still sees you as desirable, but probably doesn't want to risk hurting you, causing you discomfort and seeming selfish. Here's a link to a publication on this subject, http://www.mstrust.org.uk/shop/product.jsp?prodid=213 , which may be of use to you. This kind of problem can be complicated by not being able to discuss the issue, openly and honestly. So, why not order a hard copy of the brochure and leave it laying around. That should allow the subject to be broached. I hope this helps.

My husband was apprehensive just after I was diagnosed - because he didnt want to hurt me, or upset me or anything. He was happy to wait till I was ready. I wanted to be ready, so we could get back to being normal again. I am taking Citalopram currently, and when I dont take it I dont want to know anyone, least of all my husband in that way! Good luck to you, @MariaS - try and relax and just do whatever comes naturally. It doesnt have to be the whole thing, just play around. Hope it sorts itself out soon for you.
