Isn't it great to recieve such a miracle. I have two. I completely understand the expected pain due to the thought of having intercourse. Have you asked your doctor if theZoloft lowers your sex drive? I have struggled with the decision of a hysterectomy for a long time also. Don't rush into that decision. Make sure you are really ready in your heart and mind. You have to have a peace within you that when you make that decision that it is resolved within in you and stick to your decision. Know that you have completely thought it through and that you have formed a definate decision within yourself. This way if you do have a hysterectomy,when all is said and done, you exhausted every resource and believed within yourself that this was ultimately the best decision you could have made for yourself and stick to that fact. You are not any less of a women for having endo. I might suggest some counceling for you to talk this through with someone, I am sure it would help you alot. We are also glad to be a support for you. Many people do not understand what we go through, maybe that makes us feel less than, but it does not make us less than. I am glad to hear that you have a supportive husband. That is really really great. Let him love on you. You probably need his support more than anyone elses. Not that others doesn't help, but it might help in your marriage. If you feel less than, or are struggleing emotionally let him know.It just might help him also. I just posted a response to a sex question tonight, you may want to read that. Let us know why you think you need a hysterectomy, maybe we can post some information that might be helpful for you. Hope you are feeling better soon. Lori L.
