Navigating Treatment Side Effects
During the Wednesday, April 9, podcast episode, Mellencamp explained, “After undergoing all of this, and a change in my medication, I now have a sex drive. It’s really hard for me.” She elaborated on the physical exhaustion, stating, “Not to be too explicit, but I even attempted it myself, and I realized, ‘This is incredibly tiring. Absolutely exhausting.’”
She further detailed her experience, “I tried intimacy the night before last and thought, ‘Well, I’m not capable of this again.’ I achieved completion, but it was necessary to do so in an unconventional manner.”
