According to Liz, the first five minutes was fun but it soon descended into a nightmarish experience that left her needing hospital treatment but that was just the beginning of a series of unwanted sexual spasms that could strike anywhere and at any time.

Liz explains, "Initially it was just after sex but eventually, it got to the point where I could be doing anything from watching TV, walking down the street and I would have an orgasm out of the blue.
"I didn't run my life - my body ran my life for me. It was very depressing. It got to the point where I would have as many as 12 spontaneous prolonged orgasms in one day. I was going from specialist to specialist to specialist and they didn't know what to do with me. It was a very hard time in my life."
Liz continued to have ceaseless orgasms, sometimes as many as 12 a day.
Doctors who were baffled at first, eventually found out the cause of the problem - bipolar disorder which had been misdiagnosed as depression and treated with anti-depressants and to tackle the problem, Liz was given valproic acid - a substance that treats bipolar while at the same time suppressing the brain chemicals used during orgasm.
Due to treatment, Liz got down to having orgasms daily, then to one every other day, to weekly and to about once a month.
She said it took about four to five months before they were completely under control and it's probably been about a year since she had one.
"My diagnosis is that I probably have to take meds every day for the rest of my life and I don't live in fear. I have a very happy sex life and I don't have to live in fear," she said.
