So another update: I went to an endo that actually listened to me, and took my problems seriously. He said my symptoms could be thyroid related or tumor related. I got an MRI of my brain and pituitary, and everything came back clear. I got a
test for cushings disease, 24 hour urine collection, and cortisol came back in range this time. I also got thyroid antibodies and hepatitus and thyroid ultrasound done, to rule out any thyroid problems. Everything came back ok. As crazy as it sounds, i wish something would have shown up so i'd have something to treat. By the way, we retested my estradiol and now it is within the range of 20-30. I'm totally lost, dishartened, and really don't know what to do next. I still have very little sensitivity in my penis, its shrunk, and curved, with varicose veins, and I have horrible E.D. even with max doses of any pde5 inhibitor. My endo said the only thing he could do was refer me to was a neurologist to do nerve testing on my penis. He said a pinched nerve could be causing the symptoms, or diabetes, but I don't have diabetes. The other thing is my penile sensitivity loss isn't like neuropathy i dont believe. Its not like I can't sense touch, its just there is no pleasure with the touch. Therefore I feel like a visit to the neuro will be a waste. I'm left pondering the ideas of it maybe being a chemical imbalance, specifically low dopamine. I know oxytocin is produced in the brain, and my brain is producing none of it at orgasm now. Maybe I have a serious chemical imbalance. I will try to get scripts for Mirapex or Requip and see if they have any effect on my nonexistant libido. I will also consider Mucuna Pruriens. This condition is such a nightmare, but I figure when I finally solve it, i'll be able to help of tons of guys out there. Without the internet, imagine how lost we would all be. Anyways, I wish the firm flaccid state, horrible E.D., and loss of pleasure, and libido will someday be a thing of the past. Also, does anyone have any first hand experience on penile traction devices to help E.D. and size loss? The FastSize traction device was used in a 10 person pilot study for peyronie's disease with good results.
