I'm female, and I'm noticing now, that when having sex, the good news is I'm starting out less numb with some sensation, but as things continue, I get more and more numb by the second, resulting in an orgasm that's not nearly as satisfying. And it takes so much pressure for it to even happen. It's j...

If I have to use a sleep aid, which would be the best (affecting PSSD the least?) I've taken Ambien in the past but worry about using it now. Not regularly but just for nights my insomnia is severe.

It's interesting because I'd still say I'm more emotional/sensitive than the majority of people. I still deal with anxiety, but since taking Prozac, it has definitely decreased. I had a high resting heart rate pre-Prozac and now it's in the 50s. I feel like, because of the lower heart rate, I don't ...

I've posted before a few times about my situation, but I just wanted to post here and say that I recently had to go back on progesterone pills (I have an ovarian/endocrine condition and my doctor wants me on it every few months to protect my uterus) and once again, the numbness is back at like 95% a...

Have you learned anything new regarding progesterone? I'm a female who takes progesterone due to a hormone imbalance, and whenever I take it (14 days out of the month to protect my uterus since I take estrogen replacement) the numbness is goes from tolerable to severe. I cannot orgasm when on it.

5.5 months out: I had a day 2.5 weeks ago when I thought I was cured. It was 90% normal as far as sensitivity and orgasm go. I really thought that was the end of PSSD for me, but no, the following day I was numb again. In the past 2.5 weeks since that day, I have experienced some days where the numb...

Does anyone else notice that lack of sleep makes it worse? I feel so much more numb if I get less than 7 hours of sleep.

I just keep asking myself if I should actively try to experience orgasm during sex/masturbation (like does practice improve anything?) or give it a total rest. What's more productive as far as healing goes? Or does it not matter at all? For those who've recovered, was there any trend? I'm still expe...

I'm female and I'd say I was hypersexual too. Could have orgasm after orgasm with very little stimulation. Even as a kid I was very sexual.

Update 4.5 months out: I had a day where some of my sensitivity returned and orgasm improved greatly. I even felt like my sex drive was back! The following day was numb again though. It was pretty discouraging. Since then, each day is different from the next. One thing that remains consistent is tha...
