After exhausting all searches I came to the realization that a very common problem many of us guys experience to varying degrees hadn't been discussed. And I have a vested interest as I suffered with it for 2 years before having the courage to discuss it with my doctor. All men with MS know of what I speak and, yes, it sounds like the TV adds airing so frequently at any time of day during any type of broadcast. Paraphrasing the subject, it is our ability to either get hard or to maintain being hard... pervasive and openly discussed for all men, but men with MS, unknown to me, were targets. I experienced my sporadic attacks and dodged this bullet. Then, focused on arresting an attack with Solumedrol IV for 5 days as usual, I was fine again. Except this time sure,
I had no problem getting hard, but I couldn't keep it up. I dismissed it thinking that's odd, I must be tired. The next day, with that thought in mind, I tried it solo. Yes guys, you know because we all do it, a typical J.O. Easy, right? Not this time.
I said to myself, no, this can't be, I'm too young. I'll just relax, take my time, and J.O. perfectly. Two hours later and not feeling it like I should have, I finally shot, but, was it great? Far from it. Did I enjoy it? No way. Was I worried? You bet.
MS wasn't enough to deal with. Now I couldn't stay hard enough to get off. And what did I do? Nothing. For two years I ignorantly "suffered in silence" as my doctor phrased it.
I consider myself an intelligent guy and although I have no misconception of thinking of myself as a Superman, there's not much that I fear and I'm in no way the timid type. Quite the opposite, very vocal. But when it came to being vocal about not being able to stay hard to another man, in this case my doctor, it took me two years. And the emotional weight that staying silent created felt so much longer than two years.
Today, I'm fine again. Even better than fine. And it was so easily rectified. I didn't even have to complete my sentence to my doctor and he had his prescription pad in hand writing me two prescriptions. One for Viagra. And another for Cialis telling me to try each of them to find out which worked better for me.
I posted this for two reasons. The first is that perhaps it might help any men out there who are in the same situation I was and that perhaps it will facilitate a nudge or more towards a simple remedy so easily achieved. And if no guys out there are also suffering in silence then at least the subject is out there ready for a newcomer and certainly out there for comment.
The second reason is that there's the sub-topic of Viagra and Cialis. There are different strengths, frequencies, dosage regimens, cost and insurance considerations. I'll elaborate about what I've learned in the short time frame I've been using both of the above, not at the same time, and the several topics related to both. Besides, there are plenty of ActiveMSer men out there who are very knowledgeable on one or both. And knowledge and experiences about either drug benefits all.
