hi i am new at this forum, and my english is not very good, i am mexican and desperately seeking advice, i have been married for almost 17 years now, and for the last 2 years noticed my husband began with ed symptoms, i didn`t wanted to hurt his feelings bringing the conversaition up, because even though we have had a great sex, besides the love we feel for each other, intercourse is not the number one factor for me, i love to cuddle, i love oral sex, i love being in bed with him talking sweet to each other etc, he was the first to talk about the situation and went to the doctor, who told him he had highblood presure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, for which he prescribed medications and diet, we as a familly have been trying to help and support and everything is fine up to here, the problem is that... since the diagnose, he says he is worthless as a man, on which i disagree, and he has become very obsessed on having sex to the extreme that i often feel like he is harrasing me, and when i talk to him he says that i don`t want to have sex because he doesn`t work any more, which isn`t true, i love him and love sexual encounters with him even if he doesn`t perform at 100%, he won`t attend counselling, he says he is not going to tell his problems to peopple he doesn`t know, that he is not mentally ill, and i really don`t know how to help, i don`t want to lose him, i don`t want him to feel i don`t care or that i don`t love him, because i do, and i want to get old with him, i really beleive that when a couple can`t have intercourse, they learn to bond in other ways, i just feel he has not accepted this, and won`t seek for help which is really killing me, how can i help him, i feel he is suffering, and hurts me huge on the way
Awwww, I am dating a man that has ED, and he says the same thing about not feeling like a man or feeling worthless... he is the BEST man I have ever met I swear. Thankfully he involves me in DR trips, experiments of treatments and everything. He has the MOST severe case ever. He can not obtain any erection at all. He has tried MUSE, CIALIS, ViAGRA, implant, injections (which worked before the implant, haven't tried it since implant was removed), and NOTHING. recently he tried the VACCUUM pump...WORKS.... ROCK HARD and lasts about 20 minutes.. he not embarrassed at all to whip it out and say BABY PUMP ME UP. I know that sounds crazy, but we have to lighten up because all that stressing makes it worse. I am praying for you and your husband, love will keep you together I know it will. try everything you can get your hands on and never give up
There are many times in life when we are all faced with different levels of depression. Sometimes they last just a short time and others times they continue longer. If your level of depression is going on two or more weeks then you should be thinking about visiting with your doctor. Zoloft is a medication to help those people that have problems with depression and anxiety and sometimes they even think it's normal. Other people think that they don't need medication like Zoloft to help them. The fact of the matter is that there is nothing wrong with you if you need to use Zoloft to get back up on your feet again, or feel more comfortable until things get back on the right track. Did you know that about 34 million American adults suffer from depressive disorders? Approximately two thirds of that group is women and Zoloft could help many of them. Maybe after speaking with your doctor he or she will prescribed Zoloft to you. Make sure that you follow the prescription directions closely and if you have any complications while taking Zoloft notify your doctor immediately.
