I ceased medication in 2007 and was symptomatic for 5 years, but then became much more symptomatic during a temporary high stress period and have never recovered since. Can anyone tell me if it common for the onset of PFS to concur with high stress periods of life?
For a little more detail, I had very poor libido for the first 5 years (so much that I went to the doctor about it but was just told that I was fine and it must be depression), but I was able to have a girlfriend and to have sex. However, then I had a period of tremendous stress and seemed to lose all the sensitivity in my penis almost overnight. The stress eventually resolved, but I am still effectively impotent (get erections, but cannot feel anything during sex).
Any advice on whether or not this is common and what it might mean would be greatly appreciated. 10 years now, the best decade of my life for meeting women and having children, gone and counting. This is a living nightmare. Time to investigate any and every avenue to figure out what’s happened and get it resolved.
