Thinking about taking my life because of ED!

[BigBamBoo]

Well....with knowing that info you really need to just stop with it all.

Because you are truly flying blind. You have no real knowledge of your blood levels so you can not say for certain that your issues stem from low T.

At your age I doubt you’re actually suffering from low T.

My thoughts are you have been abusing T and other substances and it has come to head now.

And your doctor is clueless who is giving you advice.

I am no longer able to give you any kind of input at this point because there is no blood work to back up your symptoms. And treating yourself is just going to cause more issues because there is no blood work to work off of.

My parting advice is repeating once again to STOP with the T, drugs, head meds, etc. and let your body recover.

Good luck to you.

Oh yes sorry was to caught up in other things and yes self medicating like I said the doctor said it has to be I’m a certain range to qualify for trt! And I’m too young but he told me I can get it on the internet and do it myself if I feel the need to!
And free testosterone yes they are my doctor refused to test total because it’s not necessary I’m his words! What other info like i said I used to smoke a lot of cigars and weed my doctor said it’s horrible for testosterone I gave it up!
I also tried this supplement stack and it worked great my libido came back and it gave me hope things can work down there!
Tribulus
L arginine/citruline
Zinc
Erase pro plus!

You said your T was low so you couldn't go off of TRT, and now you said you're not low enough to qualify for TRT through a doctor. You should not be self medicating or using steroids. You don't know what you're doing and you've caused all of these problems yourself. Get. Off. Of. Everything.

Wait brother ur saying I don’t have low t when not waking up with morning wood for 2 years! I had problems before I ever took test or anything of that matter one day I just felt off and I got my t checked and it was at the bottom of the range you don’t give me much security when you say come off because ur assuming trt is what’s causing my problem when I stated that I had problems way before! Why would going back to low levels bring my sex drive back like u said even with low t u can still get off I can’t so that’s your personal situation loosing hope now! How would my sex drive come back if I didn’t have one and now my levels are just lower!

Yes exactly my t falls out of range! But still not low enough! And you say get off I hadn’t woke up with wood for years and struggling to get erect until I brought in some natural herbs! As listed above they wore off eventually! How did I cause these problems myself I had Ed for 2 years before test!

Waking up without a hardon can be caused by MANY other things then low T.

All men who experience symptoms of ED should talk to their doctor to identify the probable cause and to determine the best course of action in terms of treatment.
Some of the causes for ED in young men include:

• performance anxiety when the man is too nervous to sustain an erection
• depression, schizophrenia, and other psychological disorders
• penile abnormalities, such as foreskin problems or curvature
• spinal cord injuries
• microvascular disease from diabetes
• nerve injuries
• certain medications including some antidepressants
• multiple sclerosis

Additionally, some young men might experience ED as result of factors that they have more control over.
For example, young men can suffer from ED due to:

• obesity
• diabetes
• poor diet
• lack of exercise
• smoking
• excessive drinking
• relationship stress

If ED is caused by any of these lifestyle factors, it may be possible for men to reduce or eliminate the symptoms through changes to their lifestyle and diet.
However, even if a man thinks he knows the reason for his ED, he should see a doctor for a formal diagnosis and treatment. A doctor can also rule out any potentially harmful conditions that may cause ED.

So as you see....many more things can cause your symptoms other than low T.

You've been given more than enough advice here. Take it, or dont. You're being so insanely unreasonable I honestly think you might be trolling.

I understand but I was tested for all those things and I have none!

Nah man I promise I’m not! But relying on ciallis for the rest of my life is not something I wanna do! And I still don’t understand stopping basically your telling go back to where u started and just suffer! Because the guy above said he could jerk off 2-3 times a day with low t I couldn’t do that!

You're suffering now. You can't jerk off now. You're using hormones now. They're not serving you. Time to stop. Seek psychological help and medical help if you still have issues after spending a long period with no drugs. I'm done responding in this thread.

That the thing I went to a specialist in Boston and he didn’t do much said seems like I think too much but nothing serious! I understand where ur coming from but again u give me no assurance I’ve been through this before I see a threpist weekly we go out to eat! Looking into a testosterone specialist in Boston currently! Hope they take insurance!

 

[CROM]

I am really fed up with life! I haven’t masturbated in almost 12 months! My libido is non existence my brain is foggy my dick is numb!my anxiety is that of a womanI keep reading about how some people never get there sex drive back on trt! It’s over for me!

I’ve taking three doses of .5 armidex and still no libido boost! I inject 62.5 e3d it seems like nothing is gonna work My e2 came back at 73 sensitive! Nobody gives me good answers! I’m so young and my life is just over!

I got some sleeping pills I’m just gonna pop a few and call it a life! I appreciate everyone who tried to help but I wanted to share this so people know trt is a scam and rarely works for people from my research! I’ve seen so many shrinks and threpist no help! If anyone has any last suggestions before I take my life that would be awesome!

I just hope you guys know I am so fed up with life and dealing with Ed I would never be willing to take a pde5 cause I wanna get to the root cause of the problem! I know I’m cursed no matter who I ask for help no one is gonna help or guide me to the right direction!

I remember having the best erections in the world. Steroid abuse changed that permanently. My erections died while on long-term (many years) steroids. Went on a first date with my now second wife and dick didn’t work…but Viagra did.

So I got off all hormones, even got my wife pregnant 3.5 months later. And after many many months of taking NOTHING I recovered a good deal, not 100% though. I no longer needed Viagra but still use it sometimes cuz I can go 4 hours. Before I need high dose viagra (50mg). But 50mg causes unwanted side-effects.

Now I just take 25mg and get no side effects. But don’t need it at all. I just like to take it cuz it gives me dick of steal. TRT made my libido and erections a little better. I started steroids at 18. Now I am 45. So many great years I’ve had. Sure I did stupid things and paid the price, but life is great.

And .5 3X per week sounds like a lot. I crush .65 into power and divide it into 7 days and feels like too much. Plus you need to fix any high blood pressure.

And Viagra/Cilas doesn't mean weak heart. I've had CT scan and ECHO Stress Test and other heart test...all the gold standard tests. My heart is fine and no sings of blockage.

So why would someone need viagra if there heart was good? And how was your sex drive before steroids did you have low t like me! Because I had low t since 17! T coming in the bottom of range! It’s easy to say get off and go back to normal but normal is the same thing as where I’m at now if I really do have t problems ultimately I’m gonna need trt in the future so why would I stop? And what’s was causing your Ed when u needed viagra maybe the viagra/Cialis unclogged your arteries?

I started seeing a cardiologist because I started getting benign heart palpitations, which is the most common heart condition worldwide. It often comes with age or maybe past steroid use or because of metabolic disorders like insulin resistance. I have no blood flow problems. Been scanned by multi-million dollar machines, seen the best cardiologist in Miami. Nothing is wrong with my heart. I’ve had CT scan with calcium scoring, score of Zero. I’ve had test to measure inside diameter of heart valves (forget name of test, need to call doctor), everything was fine. That test gives you an idea of how much soft plaque or blockage you might have (which CT scan and ECHO normally cannot see). Test came back fine. Btw, TRT stopped my heart palpitations.

I had good libido before steroids and during most of my life. But I got to a point where my dick STOPPED working 100%. Time off helped a lot and viagra.

I don’t know my total T levels before steroids. But after steroids my Total T was 159 which is equivalent to a dead man. What caused my ED? Maybe estrogen to testosterone ratio. Not 100% sure. I never recovered 100% but with TRT, Viagra I can go all night with dick of steal.

I am also 45 now. After years of different woman you become desensitized. Libido can be trained though. Constantly fantasizing does a lot, sometimes. Btw I only use 80mg per week and inject small amounts EOD. No HCG and I take about .65 arimidex per week. Might go down to .5 per week. Too much can kill erection and libido.

I don't see you mention blood pressure. That can be a very big deal. Also, blood pressure medicine can cause ED. Best to get lean and eat healthy to lower blood pressure. Do you take anti-depressent? That cause ED. Heck same hot woman every day can cause ED.

Sometimes people also forget to mention other drugs they take...like dbol or Anavar. If I take Anavar, I get ED, wtf? There are so many unknowns. That's why people say get off all medications and get lean and healthy and eating whole foods. Then start slowly with new things like viagra, then maybe TRT. You got a long life of trial and error.

Yah that’s what I thought it’s easy to say get off all medications and see what’s wrong but like you said u had a good libido before steroids I didn’t I don’t have much to go back to other than feeling worse!
My options look like stay on and find out the problem and possibly will work
Or come off go back to where u were accept worse and then see if a doctor is willing to give you trt!

if you live near Boston, get an appointment with Men’s Health Boston. The director is Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, one of the leading urologists in the world for men’s issues like yours. He oversees the whole operation there and his PA staff is very good. Morgentaler has written a book called Why Men Fake It: The Truth About Men And Sex that you should look at. In it you’ll learn about the many ways that ED can be cured. Download it to kindle today. You also need a therapist, not one you eat with, but one that can work you through the anxiety and obvious emotional distress you are in.

I need to be blunt with you. I am a therapist and have been for 24 years, mostly with male clients. I guarantee you that most of this is psychological. Sorry to be so blunt, but you need to hear this. You are what I call a “yeah but guy.” That’s a client that you give options to and he answers with “yeah, but...” and gives you some excuse as to why he is special and more damaged than everybody else and how that won’t work for him. I usually take around 3-5 weeks to confront the guy with this, but you need to hear it now. If you live near Boston, you are in one of the world’s best locations for things like this.

As far as the “I don’t want to be dependent on cialis for the rest of my life,” that shows how irrational and pathetic your thinking is. I think the combination of anxiety and fear based thinking has you in a dysfunctional loop of negative thinking that your body believes to be true and guess what? No erections. A pde5, trimix, behavioral interventions, and some skills learned about how to treat a woman will turn your life around, IF and only if you have the courage to tackle this thing head on.

Face your fears, whatever is underlying this anxiety you live with, and do this. Your choice, and you do have a choice here. This is a fear men have that is far more common than you’d imagine and there are many treatment options.

Pep talk is over guy. Do this today, and don’t give us that “yeah but” BS.

You still didn’t answer my question why did you need viagra if you arteries and hormones were fine why did u need viagra if the whole purpose is to free arteries up and yours were fine dosent make much sense what it look like is you arteries were slightly clogged your heart was decent not perfect and u needed viagra man people think to naive be realistic you gotta rely on a pill to get erect! This is why I am so stressed the only way I’m getting morning wood is by taking a pill to free my arteries up!

fyi - this guy amoanofgod is a troll over numerous forums , don't fall for his bullshit . All he does is lie . trust me research him on other forums

I couldn’t read through this whole thread but I’ve had t as low as 168 and I can still get hard for sex and have a decent libido. And I also had t levels close too 1000 and no change in eq or libido. So you see testosterone isn’t the end all be all. I don’t wanna be mean but I really don’t know what to make of you with all these posts. If your being honest you need major mental help. I would work on therapy way before messing with hormones.

See that’s the thing you guys are assuming it’s mental but I’ve been two three different doctors who told me nocturnal erections are causes by spiked up t in the morning! I’m looking at speclist these forums aren’t very helpful it’s seems people who had low t had a existent but low sex drive my sex drive dosent exist! If you had to live with Ed for years u would be sucidal too! Is a therapist gonna make my dick work no! And for you to call me a troll is absurd! What benefit would I gain going on a forum complaining about erectile dysfunction a problem a lot of people have!
