[QUOTE="Ojustaboo, post: 2206362, member: 460243"] They discovered my T2 when I went to the GP about ED. I say discovered, the person I saw (different every time at my surgery) told me I was already a diabetic from the blood tests I had over the past few years and put me on metformin immediately. I have always have a very big sex drive and I still have, I still have the urge to really have sex, only trouble is, when it comes to it, it barely works, never really hard, sometimes goes soft halfway through (even though I'm really into it). Then next time while we're cuddling before hand, while I'm trying not to think about it, in the back of my mind is "I hope he gets hard, oh no, he's still soft...." Since I was about 14/15 (am now 55) I never ever woke up without morning glory, except in the recent months/years where I've had ED When the GP diagnosed my T2 he also put me on 50mg of Viagra. It didn't help (and makes me feel weird the next day) , the GP then tried 100mg, Exactly the same (but I feel even worse the next day). I tried taking Viagra 1/2hr, 1hr, 1.5hr, 2hr before cuddles and it made little difference, I wouldn't say no difference but 9 times out of 10, I still couldn't perform properly, even on the few occasions I can perform, he's still not properly there. Whether I took it 30 mins or 2hrs before cuddles seem to make no difference The odd thing is, when I take Viagra, even 25mg, while it does little to help, on the morning after I take it, I wake up with an erection just like old days. I went back to GP asking if there's anything else I could try, they said no, the fact that I wake up with an erection the day after taking viagra, shows my equipment is working fine??????? Then said I need to try things like rings/pumps etc next. Well I can't imagine using a pump. talk about killing the mood, anyway I got a ring (that was a funny hour with my wife and my eyes being opened to the advances in sex toys since our youth, most of the advances causing fits of laughter) , now with Viagra and using the ring, I'm still exactly the same as I was when I first went to the GP, only because I still cant get erect, even when using a **** ring, it makes me kind of feel a bit less of a man. Even when I can manage to perform, it's rare that I get to climax before he's given up. My wife just laughs (in a loving jokey way) and says don't worry about it. I also suffer from CFS/ME, asthma, IBS, cervical lymphadenopathy, migraines, severe joint pain, muscular pain, swallowing problems (food gets stuck lower down in my food pipe), memory issues (caused by cfs) and bad sleep. currently on the following meds 50 mg Cyclizine Hydrochloride 3 times a day and when needed Metformin 500g 3 times a day (only taking twice at the moment else I'm on the loo all day) 40 mg Simvastatin once a day 50 micrograms Nasonex nasal spray, twice a day 30mg Lansoprazole if needed Ventolin/Salbutamol 100 micrograms whenever needed Fostair 100micrograms/dose / 6 micrograms/dose inhaler. One puff twice a day Allopurinol 100mg Two once a day Colchicine 500 micrograms twice a day Ultrabase cream, use instead of soap Duloxetine 30MG Three times a day (well 60g in morning and 30g in evening) The past 8 months, despite my health problems, I'm actually enjoying life for the first time in years, I went through 2 years of hell where the DWP stopped my benefits and it took 2 years to get it overturned at a tribunal, those 2 years were the worst in my life, we had £50 less coming in each month than our bare essentials cost us, and that was before we paid our credit card bills. In a way, those two years benefited us long term as we had all our debts frozen, they wrote some of mine off due to GP and hospital saying I wont be working again, and the backdated sum for 2 years allowed us to make early final settlements to the rest of our creditors. I then discovered a pension I wasn't aware I had, and as I was 55, took 25% tax free and cleared most of our outstanding mortgage. This means that apart from a very small (under £6k) mortgage, we don't owe anything to anyone. Which means for the first time in as long as I can remember, even if I have to go through the same hell as before with the DWP next time my medical is due, my wife's earnings more than covers all our bills hence we wont have the stress of creditors phoning us up about 20 times a week etc. 9 months ago I was the most depressed I had ever ever been in my life, my mind was a mess, I was having weird thoughts, today I wouldn't say I was depressed at all. I had hoped that with this new found stress free life, my ED would disappear, but no, it's exactly the same :( As for it getting a bit smaller, I looked at mine a while back and thought he looked much smaller than usual, then decided I was just being stupid. My lovely wife walks in, looks at me and says "he's a bit small today isn't he" [/QUOTE]
