Hi marbee21. My husband started experiencing ED in his mid thirties. We put it down to stress, since he worked all the time, did housework, and cooking because I have CML. (Chronic myeloid leukaemia) Then it went away. He had another brief moment in his forties, then he got sick. Ulcerative colitis and steroidal diabetes. It's technically type 2, but only active while on steroids to treat the inflammation of the bowel and intestines. From 2007 to now, it's been a roller coaster ride. I feel horrible for him. He wants everything to be like it once was. Its not easy. I tell him it's okay. I understand. I do my best to support him. Even when he offered to take medication. I have My opinion. That if the risks, side effects are going to harm him in anyway... No. But it's his decision and his body. I hope I answered your question. Hugs.💖
