You all are just too funny!

It has been interesting since November discovering I have a sex drive again!  And then having to make accomodations for the hubby's injury.  We seem to make it work out okay.

Goofy, just wanted you to know I've been on the board for over 3 hours looking for this new thread "Sex and the Nephrologist" and haven't found it yet. How about putting a link for it as I don't have time to go to a theater right now. Would go to the book store but can't read that good.

Good for you Kit. Life doesn't always deal us a royal flush, but a pair, a pair like you and your hubby are a winning hand.  :clap;

Hang in there gal.

I've never been self conscious of my body when it came to sex with my hubby. We've always had a very active sex life, and nothing's changed since I began dialysis. Like someone before mentioned, timing is everything, just before, and just after. Granted some of the mechanics have changed a bit due to the tube hanging outta my belly, but we've "worked" our way around it!! LOL!! Sex to us isn't solely about intercourse anyway. It's knowing that we desire one another, still finding each other sexy, it's holding hands, hugging, stroking one another....it's the suggestive words and behavior, we've found that foreplay is as satisfying as sex even if the actual act never takes place--it's a mind set!! (I guess I feel that way 'cause I'm gettin' plenty!!-lol!!) We actually did it for the first time while I was connected last week (our timing was a bit off, and the urge struck...what was I gonna say? No? NOT EVEN!!) We waited for the dwell cycle, when we knew we had atleast an hour, and I was curious anyway...I'd advise anyone to take care of business before or after though--rapid breathing tends to be a bit difficult with a belly full of fluids, and the mechanics become increasingly more difficult, but the tubing once situated was the least of my worries! --feeling like I was having a heart attack was first and foremost on my mind!!! *blush* I think that's enough said about that! LMAO!!

if it's been asked i'm sorry in advance. i didn't read all of this thread because i was laughing my ass off.

i'm a lesbian on dialysis. Hemo in -center. I am having trouble having sex, not because I don't have the drive but (and this is embarassing to say) because the toxins i guess just make the smell to bad.  if anyone knows what i'm talking about and knows how to fix it please help me? I really don't want to talk to my doc about it. ya'll seem to know more anyway.

HELP ME? :'(

Hmm, that is a good question, wish i knew the answer to that one, my hubby hasn't complained to me lately about any smells.......but there was that one time when he................................oh nevermind  :P  :-\  ::)   

Sorry Jellybean, i would definetly talk to the doc or find yourself a female nurse to discuss this with, maybe a douche would be ok?  I hope you find a solution (and if you would be kind enough to share it with us)  This is an open board honey, we talks about anything and everything so no worries, k? k!  :cuddle;

well, what kind of doctor should I ask? my neurologist doesn't really pay enough attenton to me for me to ask that kind of question to. My general is a very good doctor and I could ask him but he's a male and I am not to comfortable with it. I'm also having other problems but that has to do with the fact that I'm horny and can't get any. (shes guna hate me for saying that)

my doc wants to switch me to PD. do u think that will help it any? I was 11 when I was on PD last so I don't really know if it had this effect.

Maybe longer dialysis sessions and/or better filters might help.

chemical smells? must he a hemo thing...I'm on PD and I don't have that problem....??? I'm still urinating, and my urine smells horrific, but haven't noticed any other odors...curiosity got the best of me, so I called my PD Nurse and asked- she was finishing up lunch with some of the other Nurses, including a couple of the hemo Nurses, so she posed the question to the group while I was on the phone. The general consensus was: it's a gyno problem not related to dialysis, possibly a yeast infection. To their knowledge, no one has complained of a vaginal odor related to dialysis, chemical or otherwise...body odor could be attributed to possible uremia, and odorous urine caused by renal vitamins. My suggestion would be to see your gyno and rule out any possible infections, and then pose the question to your Nephrologist if it persists. That's what I love about this board!! Everyone has a unique perspective, no questions are off limits, and we all learn as we go together!!!
