I stopped Cipro and feel better. I was able to sleep about 6 hours last night.
Nocturnal erections are gone. When I wake up I feel asexual. Hard to explain but it’s like a switch was turned off.
I think I’m screwed really. Anybody have the same experience?
I think I am making progress. I am able to stimulate and get an erection ( not as strong as before and only lying down) but now a new issue is that I cannot climax.
It’s like my brain is not excited enough.
The difficulties continue. Fun times.
Anxiety is getting better and I think it was caused by cirpo.
I can’t imagine living for years like this. I think you have to be a warrior to endure this. My life is on pause and this is mental torture. Like what the heck. I can’t believe those companies sell those products. Even the natural products can mess you up real bad. Incredible.

Thanks for all the info.
So now I have to force myself to get an erection by watching porn. I’m not very excited and can’t finish. I guess my brain kind of remembers what it was to be excited.
The way it was working before is that I didn’t have to force anything, arousal was just natural and not forced.
You could try low dose 2.5 daily Cialis but beware of the ruthless tinnitus reaper. It seems like you’re not anhedonic or emotional blunted. That makes dating almost impossible.
Lately I’ve been sleeping well. Like 7 hours a day which is great. I feel less anxious and overall ok. All the pain is gone, shrinkage is gone.
But now I can’t keep an erection. After 5 minutes it goes away. Maybe it’s linked to my low libido.
I don’t know why this is getting worse.
I should be feeling better now.
Saw palmetto really messed me up.
I think the worst part of this desease is obsessing over it everyday. Your stuck in a fear loop that destroys your mental health.
I don’t even want to watch porn or try to jerk off anymore. Everytime I fail, my sense of despair intensifies. To whoever is reading, please don’t give up like me and try to stay positive.
To think that before this happened to me, I thought I was jerking off too much and wanted to stop.
I’ve been dealing with this crap for only 6 weeks. But I already have dark thoughts and I am severely depressed. All the people that deal with this for years are absolute warriors.
In my country (canada) the health care system is the worst. It’s pratically impossible to see a spacialist. You can wait for years to see one.
You are basically left to deal with your issues on your own. They just give you more pills.
Doctors are useless.
same here in sweden, you have to have cancer to get sent to a specialist, and even they are useless…
Anyone ever tried these drugs for anorgasmia or DO?

I am very relunctant to try anything.
Bupropion (Wellbutrin) fucking wiped me out and gave severe anhedonia (you do not want that) and Buspar can cause PSSD.
I trained very hard at the gym yesterday including the legs.
Had issues sitting later after training.
I had night sweats around the chest during sleep.
Anxiety when waking up.
Nocturnal erections are gone.
This morning libido is at 0%.
Wondering if training worsen symptoms.

it does for me, but i am a severe case
I was starting to feel better lately but still have anxiety.
Today I went for a massage and the woman used a lot of lavender oil.
Then I checked and it seems lavender oil is a 5ari.
Like what the heck. I have to check everything now.
it seems like nothing is safe.

Ok lavender oil made me crash.
Back to square one.
I can’t believe I made that mistake.
I need to calm down.
I was 90% healed and was feeling great.
Hopefully I’m just paranoid.
Guys I’m so tired of dealing with this.
you are not paranoid!
dont let this horrific disease or anyone else gaslight you, we are very sensitive to a ton of things because something is not working properly inside us thanks to this wondeful poison we ingested

Yesterday morning I was ok.
No sexual problems and mentally ok.
I went shopping and was walking for 2 hours.
I had slight lower back pain while walking.
Then during the evening I noticed my rectum was numb.
Even the penis was a bit numb.
So now my anxiety is coming back full force.
I cannot get an erection this morning even if I’m horny and did not have nocturnal erections.
Maybe it’s just the anxiety.
I am so tired of dealing with this shit.
I am thinking I might have a spine or sacrum problem?

At this point I’m not sure if I have pfs or cpps. Or maybe it started with pfs and then evolved into cpps. Everything started with saw palmetto.
I’m doing pelvic floor therapy but it doesn’t seem to help.
I can’t sit on a hard surface otherwise everything becomes numb.
I feel a tightness in the perineum and the rectum but reverse kegels helps.
Tightness is often worse in the evenings.
Sometimes it feels like a band is tightening around the scrotum.
When I am too active the symptoms worsen.
I think jerking off is not good for this condition.
And jerking off doesn’t even feel good anymore but I keep doing it just to confirm everything is still working.
