A woman has been found out out to have a health disorder that causes her to faint in the heat of sexual intercourse.
Laura Crow
A mother-of-three suffers from a rare condition that causes her to faint during s*x.
Laura Crow, 28, was diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTs) in 2011, after it was triggered by her first pregnancy.
As a result of the disorder, her resting heart rate is 110 beats per minute - around 40 beats higher than the average person.
But triggers including adrenaline and excitement can cause it to peak at 180 beats per minute - which can cause her to pass out.
It's led to some tricky situations - and she has even passed out while beneath the sheets with her husband Ben, 28.
Mrs Crow, from Southend, said: 'Whenever I have s*x, there's a 50/50 chance I'll faint.
'The fainting can happen anywhere, any time - but with PoTs
it's usually a case of gravity taking over, so the best way for us to do
it is missionary, with me lying down.
'The first time it happened it was a massive shock for both of
us. Ben gets very upset - when I wake up he is very distressed, even
though he never continues after I've passed out.
'Once I faint I don't know what's going on, but it's very
traumatic and worrying for him. But luckily it doesn't affect our
relationship. He's the strongest rock I could ever ask for.'
'I'm not going to stop laughing or having s*x in the name of PoTs.'
But it's not just sex that makes her pass out - other triggers
include not getting enough sleep, temperature, laughing, exercise and
anything that causes her heart rate to increase, like watching a horror
movie.
Mrs Crow, who has been with Ben for eight years and married for
nearly five, had been perfectly healthy up until she fell pregnant with
her son Dylan in late 2009.
But out of the blue she started fainting, sometimes several times a day.
After numerous tests, doctors finally diagnosed her with the strange condition in 2011.
She said: 'When I was around four weeks' pregnant, I passed out and went to the doctors. I'd never fainted in my life until then.
'The first doctor I saw said it was just part and parcel of pregnancy, but another doctor sent me for tests."
At one point, she was passing out up to seven times a day.
But after having her second two children - Ralph, three, and one-year-old Faith - her symptoms started to ease.
She still has to be careful to try and avoid situations that can
lead to fainting - but with a husband and three young children, it's not
always possible.
Mrs Crow said: 'We did think twice about having more children -
but at the time they didn't know if it was a hormone problem that had
triggered the PoTs, so it potentially could've gone away with another
pregnancy.
'It did get better - I used to pass out seven or eight times a
day, but after my second and third pregnancy it's only once or twice a
day.
'Laughing is also tricky - Ben is a tickler every time he tickles me I laugh myself to a faint!
'Even when playing with my children - we could be running around, joking and laughing, and the next minute I'm on the floor.'
Now, she generally only faints once a day, but she has to have a carer with her 24 hours a day just in case she passes out.
She also struggles with other conditions linked to PoTs, including
Elhers-Danlos syndrome, inappropriate tachycardia syndrome and
dis-associative seizures.
Mrs Crow is now looking into applying for a support dog, which will
be able to alert her when she's about to faint, so she can get some of
her independence back.
She said: 'Even when I don't pass out, the symptoms are
debilitating in themselves - I also have to be careful about doing
things which will trigger fainting, which could be anything!
'I can't be the mum I want to be - I dreamed of being a
"normal" mum who could do the school run by myself, do sensory classes
with my babies without falling unconscious, who can stand on the
playground every day without any assistance or pop out with the kids and
get an ice cream.
'The children are amazing though - my six- and three-year-old are registered as young carers.'
Mrs Crow added: 'Even my one-year-old will sit and stroke my hair while she waits for her dad to rush over after I've passed out.
'It breaks my heart that they almost have to look after me, but they're incredible and they know no different.
'It's tough with Ben as well - I'm the wife that can't be
tickled, can't be loved, who can't let their husband out without having a
carer to look after me.
'I hide so many emotions through smiles, but thanks to my
amazing husband and three gorgeous children I have the strength to keep
going.'
