Hi Arlene,

I haven't had cancer treatments, but I did have almost a year of that increased drive right after menopause. It was really weird and very frustrating (pun intended). I'm pretty sure that, for me, it was hormonal because I also had teenage acne and "moods" back again, too. My poor dh. :(

The good news was that it was only constant for about 6 months and then it began to subside back down to more "normal." I'm 2 years post menopause now and feel pretty much like I did two years pre. Some occasional hot flashes and night sweats but the libido part has settled down.

I'm not sure this should be reassuring to you, but thought you might like to know you aren't the ONLY one!
