[QUOTE="BaKeRk, post: 1378093, member: 284710"] I have never been embarrassed about discussing anything medical. It is only by speaking up that GPs and Consultants can learn from their patients the extent of any medical problems. Back before I was diagnosed with T2D in 1990, I was prescribed a beta-blocker to treat high blood pressure. Literally within two weeks of taking this medication I developed ED and told my GP at the time. He more or less told me I was being stupid as he knew of no such side effect but he did change my medication. My ED did not disappear but got worse. About two years later, I noted that beta-blockers and other medications were being quoted on the descriptive leaflets issued with them, warning that, in rare cases, ED could be a side effect! I have mentioned other potential side effects of various medications, anaesthetics etc., since then, only to be told by various GPs that they hadn't had any such adverse effects drawn to their attention. Then, in various medical journals, one reads that some bright researches have come to such a conclusion years after I first raised the possible connections. So, it is up to patients to speak up so that the extent of such problems can be properly researched earlier. They might even discover a cure! [/QUOTE]
