New Guy Introduction

[Beachdude]

I'm so glad I found this forum. I've been suffering with ED for many years, and often felt really alone with my issue. It's great to find a community where I can speak freely about my issue with guys who truly understand what I've been going through.
I'm 57, and have been suffering from some form of ED since my early 20's. In my younger days, it was pretty intermittent, and even when it did happen, I could usually get an erection hard enough to complete sex. But over the years it became gradually worse. I thought for years that I just had a psychological problem and suffered with my own pain, and knowing that I was being judged on some level by the women I was with, and my long time wife. I got so tired of disappointing her and having her thinking I wasn't attracted to her. (I am very lucky to have such a beautiful, desirable wife!) So I sucked up my pride and went to a Urologist. Long story short, after ultra sounds I was diagnosed with venous leakage. It was a relief to know that it wasn't 'all in my mind' after all, but concerning that I did have a physical issue. Started with pills till they no longer did the job on their own. Progressed to a pump, but have issues with losing penis control with a restriction ring on. Then did Muse, with little effect. Ended up on injections which work great for me, especially in conjunction with pills. But because insurance no longer covers the cost, I'm searching for advise for obtaining the most cost effective injectables for my situation. I look forward to chatting with the board members and sharing info.

Thanks bldoink. Great info for me. I started on Caverject but then switched to Edex. But cant afford it now that insurance stopped coverage. I'm looking for a compounding option.
