HH... Something you may want to think on. Is your W going through menapause? I know my MIL completely loses her mind if she forgets her estrogen pills. Your Jekyl/Hyde comment made me think of it. She definitley goes that route if she misses a pill! Sorry if this has already been discussed... The best of everything to you!

sofar,
This has been a topic of conversation with us, not so much here though.
I bumped this up to give people a perspective to the new post I made today -- Big Love Bust!
I brought this (your point) up to my wife this morning in fact. She had resistd going to GYN for months, saying she did not want to take suppliments -- I don't think She did / does want to tamper with this dramatic increase in her in sex drive that she has had for a couple years now. In fact that that was a reason she stopped taking a anti-depresant 2 years ago -- DAHHHHH?!!
She saw the GYN 6 weeks ago & he was a new person for her & she said she did not particuarily like him -- he had left a message after the exam, saying her hormones were within normal limits & to call with questions -- I asked her if she told him about what was going on with her sexual apitite & the like & these changes & she said no; I was hoping she might have described her activity with two OM, but did not grill her about this -- she never got tests for STD's like I wanted when I sent her back home in January, but I choose not to make that an issue at this time -- she could have decsribed dramtic increase in sex drive W/O discussing A's -- she did not care for him & his attitude & for me to continue discussions around this would have been a lovebust. Do you get the impression I am walking on egg shells a lot?! She has done a good job with me (and I must say our C, so far) in sweeping the A' under the rug!
At the time I suggested she call him back and ask for any clarifications or specifics --I don't know about these things, but I am wondering if there are more intense screening tests or something or if her level is right on the borderline & perhaps a re-test would be advised ???
You see, my DW is very stubborn & very strong willled about being self-relient, when it comes to following advise of her H & she definately does not want to appear to be under any kind of influence by me -- for me to suggest that she do something, doesn't really matter the topic, generally meets with lots of opposition -- she never called him back & this morning dismissed my questions along these lines as being totally out of the question & stupid! <p>She has been a little more regular with her cyle the last couple months & said because of that she did not think that was an issue. [img]images/icons/confused.gif" border="0[/img] <p>As may tell by my other post, thread -- my patience is wearing.<p>If you know of other tests or have more insight to this I would be very interested.
Thanks for your interest!

Hey Hurrian,
You know what? From what *I've* understood about menopausal-related hormone stuff is that the sex drive DEcreases, and that doesn't sound like the case in your situation, however, the mood swings could be related to menopause.<p>The hormones are tricky to get a handle on. Lots of hugs seem to work best when mine get out of hand! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] Hang in there big guy! I'm pullin' for ya!
