Hi Keepup
7 years is a long time suffering, you are a strong man for making it so long. On the plus side, you are lucky you are not also suffering some of the mental and physical sides that many of us also have to endure. This really excaerbate the situation, making sexual concerns actually lesser down the priority list.
I am interested to know what you did in the past 7 years to get better. Did you exercise alot, eat healthy, take any medications or supplements etc.?
Cheers

Chi,
at the beginning I did nothing. I was hoping that my body recovers by itself and it only needs time. Unfortunately, nothing improved at all.
In the recent years I started taking supplements. It also didn’t help much. Only l-arginin helped a bit to get stronger erections.
I also took Tamoxifen (anti-estrogen), which made me worse (and I am still worse - my penis shrunk etc.). I took it only for one week.
Furthermore, I went to Kos Greece to get the prostate treatment for prostatitis (prostate massages + antibiotics like Cipro). It has also not helped and made me worse even more (however, there are some guys who were a bit better).
I have visited many different doctors - urologists, neurologists, endocrinologists. They couldn’t help. I also had a consultation with Dr. Jacobs in New York. He only wanted to give me testosteron replacement therapy (testo gel or testo injection).
All in all, I have been the same for about seven years. However, in the last five months I got worse (I guess it is due to tamoxifen and the prostate treatment in Kos)
The ordeal goes on…
It is probably a good idea for you to comment in the prostatitis thread keepup so that people know that this treatment can indeed be a bit dangerous. Apologies if you have already done it.
