Sam situation here. Frustrating. Embarrassing. Depressing. I feel like I am suppressing my sexual nature bc it hurts all the time. My flares will go down, try to have sex and be intimate with my husband, then the next day flared back up again. It's a vicious cycle. I also have a very physical job so there is always flaring. Humira worked well for the first 3 months, no flares I felt normal again. It's not working anymore. And yes I seem to flare more right before menstrual cycle.
I’m in the same predicament, I only tend to flare in my pubic area and groin I feel so embarrassed and it feels awkward when being sexual. Your not alone hunny x
