I am 29, married and I have been enjoying very good sex. However after I am done it is not always so. My skin really gets red around my nose, I become very tired and very irratiable for the next 24 hours minimum, I feel dried out and get really bad headaches. Has anyone experienced this? Is it because I may be malnurished? Can someone recommend anything? I would appreciate any input.

Hi Kick, and welcome to HealingWell. I've never experienced this, but it sounds like you may be dehydrated. Have you talked to your doc about it? What meds are you on, and do you have frequent and loose bowel movements?

Thanks. I haven't been off meds for eight years because I don't like the side effects. I can pretty much handle UC. Right now I pretty much have 3-6 bowel movements a day. What can I do against dehydration? I have been drinking a lot but it does not seem to help that much.

If you feel like it might be dehydration, you can always try Gatorade or something like it that has electrolytes in it; if you think you might be malnourished, maybe try Ensure. Really, I think you need to see a doc about this and get a firm diagnosis.

Perhaps you should talk to your gynecologist.
