Good job Mew.
I take the oportunity to thank you all work you done in this forum.
Cheers
Thanks Mew. I found Dr. Crislers words to the effect of if they are truely hypogonadal (low testosterone) then in some cases we can restart them" to be of considerable hope.
Boston…i’m in
I’m gonna call and make an appt asap. What has he done for you thus far? Also i’m still curious about this xyrem comment you made earlier…is that something he prescribed?If not how did you get a hold of it?
I think a lot of this is prostate DAMAGE.
I think a good experiment would be a newbie taking “Once a day Cialis” for about six months or a year straight to see if they can recover. Just like a lot of prostatectomy patients are prescribed.
If bio pathways are disrupted, especially to testicles, which are a man’s important hormone producing gland, then hormones will not be produced efficiently/daily.
This is my thought, and I would love for Crisler to experiment with new patients with this.
Because as I recall… Viagra/Cialis is not bad for you but is actually good for you, no!?? Especially for someone in our situation, no! The only risk being Priapism, correct??

Boston, after 6 months of starting this thread, isn’t it time for an update on how your treatment is going? Can you tell us what kind of medications Crisler put you on and let us know how your treatment is progressing?
I also would like to hear how its going - I have been as open and honest as I can about my treatment (clomiphene citrate in varying dosages see the Clomid recovery thread) - kazman
I’m going to do my best to keep everyone updated on how my progress is going, but boston is a full 6 months ahead of the curve than I am. I’ve only just taken the lab tests and treatment won’t start for another several weeks.
Sorry guys! Joetz, I’m right where u are. I am just now taking my labs. I was SOO busy for the last 4+ months I either A.) kept fucking up the whole 24-hr. urine collection, or B.) wasn’t able to spend a whole 24 hours straight at home collecting it.
But I am doing it this week FOR SURE now, because I need to get treatment. There is definitely still something wrong. I’ve also already paid for it all. I paid Reine Labs back in Febuary.
UPDATE: I have been having great sex almost daily for the past 3 months straight. I’m talking very good sex! Some days are better than others. At times erections are good, and are explosive, depending on what my schedule has been like. Other times not so good. I have however had some…maybe quite a few glimpses of hope. Thurs night, I was soo baked, and also stiff whiskey buzz (vodka-tonic, heineken,heineken, whiskey-ginger,stella,heineken-light/jamison(double fisted!!)) at a reggae concert. Was an awesome night. Got home not thinking I was going to be able to perform. Clothes came off second we came through the door. I had whiskey dick for an hour plus. Fucked my girl all over the house for over an hour driving her crazy. I was a porn star and couldn’t believe it.
She had never heard of whiskey dick and still laughs when I say it!
Anyhow, I know thats a little off subject, but also this past weekend went out a few times, and have had some pretty nice morning wood about three days in a row. We’ll see if it lasts…
Funny thing is…is when I broke up with her for a week-week and a half, my dick was back feeling aweful again. Shrunken and not good. Spent too much time lying in bed with laptop, tv, etc… and dick not good at all. Then we got back to it, and its back to feeling pretty good, or maybe “alright” I should say. ((OOps, maybe this should be in my recovery post and not here guys, but I’m sorry!)
Anyway, I can perform. It just takes me a minute naked to get things up. Usually its not as firm and hard though, BUT SOMETIMES it does get there. A little more often as of late as well!
Also, sometiems stamina still sucks! But sometimes back to almost normal.
Overall though, since I’m still posting here under this thread, and just as I started this post saying… I’m thinking there’s still definitely something just a little NOT RIGHT. I want to get some help, and see if that cant put me back to where I was before all this mess.
PS. Just to let you guys know… I was right where a lot of you guys are for about 12-18 months… Lots of sexual dys!
I’m talkin very little drive AND significant ED. So just to let you guys know, there is hope and improvement that comes to most after time.
I’m saying now… Use it or lose it! This girlfriend has been the best thing thats happened to me in a long long time. I also told her some minor details about my issue about the third time we slept together. Probably AFTER the third time. Mind you the third time I drove her crazy with multiple multiple orgasms on end till she was screeming 
But I did tell her there was some stuff going on, and that has helped me through all this. I just make sure that I please her every night, and I guess that keeps her coming back for more! See I have very good hands also.
ALSO, one thing is, initially I used Viagra a few times during the beginning. Namely the first two times 
as well as interspersed occasionally to shake things up, ya know what I mean!! Shake the bed Up!
No wonder we never heard anything from you. You went and saw crisler and then you never even bothered completing the lab work or starting any treatment!
I got the labs done ASAP because I am desperate to recover. Tomorrow I find out on the phone where the next step is and what kind of treatment I am going to start. Judging by all your stories, you are probably close to a 90% to 100% recovered. I can see why doing the lab work wasn’t a priority for you.
I wish I had those kinds of stories to tell you, but my mind and body just isn’t there yet for sex. I’m probably one of the most severe cases on here, so if a doctor can help me, he can probably help anyone.

Dunno about that friend do you have massive muscle wastage, brain fog, near total ed etc? Anyway I wish you well and it makes a nice change to have an update from someone actually getting treatment from either Shippen or Crisler. I only really recall Voice whose problems were pretty minor compared to most of us.
I have all of those problems and then some. Plus, I took this crap for eight years because I didn’t know the finasteride was causing the problems. I got symptoms 2 weeks after starting but thought I was screwed up from some other medications I was taking at the time for other health problems.
I’m happy to keep everyone posted on how my progress is going. I have been frustrated by other patients of Shippen or Crisler who have kept us in the dark about their progress and I don’t want to be like those guys. This forum has been very helpful for me and I’m happy to “give back” in any way that I can.
I’m looking forward to hearing about your progress. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
my question is… has dr. crisler helped somebody with brainfog issues?
Same question…have any of the “popularly advocated” doctors (crisler - shippen) helped individuals with cognitive impairment and brain fog?
I’m going to see Dr. Hulinsky in a couple weeks, but not sure where to best spend my money?
Damn, I am falling apart at the seams; need help fast!
Someone please post back…
Yes, I would go see Dr. Hulinsky if you already have the appointment? Why, how much is the appointment?
The more doctors that are helping on this, the better.
I saw Crisler and he put me on DHEA, which got rid of my brain fog, fixed the difficulty focusing, problems concentrating, confusion, memory loss, forgetfulness, etc. I still have sexual side effects, and that’s really where I have the most room to improve.
Hulinsky called and said he could not help me. He just said I have an “advanced” set of symptoms apparently. He can help guys with sexual sides though, but not the cognitive stuff I’m afraid.
I am looking at Shippen now.
Won’t you look at Neil Aronin then? You mentioned he offered to help. any advances here?
Thanks
