Vacation without the O

Since I started nursing school, it's been very difficult for me to keep track of the days.  Now I can't keep track of the season.  It does not feel like summer to me.  I saw a back to school commercial and it confused me.  I thought for a moment that I was in the middle of the school year already.  No such luck. 

I survived eight weeks of hell, taking OB and Peds with shreds of my sanity.  This semester is supposed to be easier, but I'm doubtful knowing that I'm taking four classes, have two days of clinical, and I'm trying to work one 12 hour shift a week at the hospital.  

The stress of school has had a detrimental impact on my sex drive.  I'm so busy and so tired when my husband gets home that sex is the furthest thing from my mind.  The handful of times we did have sex during this crazy semester something was missing... 

That same thing was also missing when I spent some quality time with myself...

No O!

I thought once the semester ended, my orgasm would come back, but it didn't.  I feel frustrated and dysfunctional.  (More so than usual)  I started looking at other potential contributing factors to my lack of orgasm. 

The long days at the hospital were exacerbating my pudendal neuralgia so I started taking 1200 mg Q3 instead of 900 mg of Neurontin.  It seemed to help, but was the higher dose quieting the orgasm nerve signals as well as the pain signals?

I don't know, but I've decided to scale back down to 900 mg and see what happens.  I was even more motivated to scale back when I remembered that I was taking the highest dose possible.  If my pain were to get worse, I would have no choice but to try other drugs.  I'd rather have the comfort of knowing I can always go higher.

As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from neuralgia, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My husband suffered neuralgia and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony of so many people who was cured from neuralgia. and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who had the herbal cure to neuralgia. I never imagined neuralgia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.neuralgia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony .
