Well it’s been a few months since I last checked in here and things really haven’t gotten better in that time frame. I have been experimenting with different thyroid medication dosages to find my sweet spot, and have also found a urologist who has no problem prescribing PDE-5 medication. The only problem with this is that this is all he is willing to do; he doesn’t care to investigate the root cause. When I pushed him to, his theory was that taking preworkout supplements with nitric oxide in them got my body used to the nitric oxide and causes erection problems because of this. Sounds like a load of shit if you ask me! I’ve pretty much accepted that I will have to rely on PDE-5 inhibitors for the rest of my life. Not ideal but not the worst problem to have. Anyways, here is my most recent bloodwork from a few days ago:
