Just don’t know what to do anymore

Well…after being off that poison for over 10 years (I believe I’ve been off for 12-14 years)
And VARIOUS issues I’ve dealt with most notably
Libido and penis sensitivity

It’s finally gotten officially WORSE

I nay not have had tactile touch sensitivity but I at least could feel when I was hard like from the inside of my erection

Now?..Nothing. Absolutely nothing
This is the most disheartening thing you can do to a man. And the worst part is no idea of if it’s permanent or what even the cause or causes is.
I’m beating down and honestly don’t know how I get out of bed.
And before all those that jump on me for complaining about sex symptoms I’ve DEFINITELY experienced almost everything else from anedonia to brain fog etc and yes they’re awful

But this kills me and WHY didn’t get worse as the years went on? Not bad in the beginning then nothing or got better

Permanent brain damage? Peripheral Nerve damage?
I’m so fucking tired…

I hear you. When the sexual symptoms are at their worst it’s just so disheartening and just so frustrating. I hope it’s a temporary low for you and that it gets a little better and that the situation at the very least returns to how it was before.

It’s crazy what people are enduring out there… Over a decade of suffering for many of us.

I hear you guys…I’m going on 8 years of up and downs with different symptoms but mainly ed. Thought I was cured a few times over the years but typically getting sick made me crash again. After getting COVID a couple times in 2021 I don’t seem to be the same. I started taking L arginine earlier this year which worked great for about 6-9 months but has recently lost its effectiveness, I’m not sure why. I am now taking celery juice and will do a 3 day fast after New Years hoping to reset my system. I am a christian and do believe in the power of fasting and prayer, so there is always hope God will completely heal me one day.
What ED supplements have you tried over the years?

I’m curious if anyone on the site has gotten worse from taking viagra or cialis? I was taking L arginine for ed which was working well then the all of the sudden stopped working and I seem to have gotten worse.
Thinking about cialis as last resort, but don’t want to make things worse.

#7

I did get worse in Cialis after using it daily for a month or so.

#8

Thank you for your response. Did it just stop working for you? Are you currently using anything that is working? I think Largenine and cialis work similar with releasing nitric oxide so I’m hesitant to try it, but at this point I need something to help with ed.

#9

It didn’t stop working but it made me much worse you can read about it in my thread. Also before L-citrulline worked good for me, but now after Cialis made me worse I don’t get any effect anymore.

There is some animal studies showing Cialis is very bad for the cells that produce sperm and also it might upregulate AR which probably isn’t very good for PFS patients.

I think Viagra is much safer.

#10

Thank you for the feedback. Do you think L-argenine and Citruline are also bad since they also release NO in the system?
I ordered HGW and tribulus. Planning to take both the day before and day of being active with wife along with Largenine and citruline. I prefer to try and take them only sporadically.
Any thoughts on that combo? Are you taking Viagra now?

I’m checking in to see how you are doing?

It’s tough to admit but seems slowly getting worse

Idk what to do with the rest of my life sometimes

#13

I’m sorry to hear that, but just take it one day at a time. There are times I also feel overwhelmed with the worry and frustration. Typically, what works for me is prayer. We aren’t designed to care this big burden, by me giving it to God it brings me peace.
The result for that day might not look like what I want but I’m confident his plan is better than my plan and He will make everything work out for the good of those who love Him. Hard to do especially at first but it definitely works!

Checking in to see how you’re doing? I have been doing much better and i think it’s the intermittent fasting that’s helping me. Have you ever tried it?

I really really appreciate you checking in man

Long story short I just feel I’m getting worse
It’s amazing you may have found something and something so simple as intermittent fasting

But it’s really getting a bit if the better of me
I just met someone and I very much want it to work out long term but I truly don’t want this to ruin it
So there’s added pressure because I was just gonna be alone

#16

Don’t ever give up hope. So many times I thought that I would always have severe problems and my mind would play the worst case scenarios. Don’t let your mind take you down dark paths…. I started reading my Bible and it says over 300 times not to fear, so every time fear starts creeping in i pray and almost always receive peace. There is definitely power in your thoughts, words and the name of Jesus so I make a conscious effort to speak healing and strength over my body in Jesus name everyday.

Have you talked with your partner about it? My wife is understanding and supportive which takes the pressure off if my body won’t at any given time. I think this really helps from a physiological standpoint. Hopefully she’ll be understanding.
Before fasting I was taking citruline and L-Argenine which helped.

One day at a time, don’t worry about tomorrow it will take care of itself. I believe things will get better for you!

I truly appreciate your words man thank you for taking the time to say them they are very encouraging

It’s beautiful your wife is understanding and is compassionate

This girl I met it’s still new but I swear it can get serious and be the one…I hope
And she’s devout Catholic so she in touch with everything you said earlier…so am I but I struggle for sure
I just don’t want this to ruin it ya know
And while I’m excited about meeting her because things are going so so well there’s that other part of me
But I will certainly return to your beautiful message when I need centering
