I exercise every day. Not much but enough to get the blood moving. Never heard of magnesium being used for this purpose. I'll look into it and my PCP prescribed a course of vitamin d for me past two months.

It will be interesting to see if you can get your vitamin D to normal range. I know of at least one person who told me that the prescription vitamin D they got wasn't budging their levels, and that some people will do better with a different form of vitamin D. So if a retest doesn't show enough change you may want to look into an OTC in a different form. I believe I've also heard that it's best to take the vitamin D with some kind of food with some oil or other fats in it, since the D is fat-soluble.

I have had 2 major episodes with The neuropathy I had my vitamin D, magnesium and potassium crash at the same time. That damn near killed me or so it felt. Make sure they do a thorough blood screen as the potassium can be as harmful as the others. Because of my neuropathy and the amount of Gabapentin and morphine that I take for that ad well as chronic pain. I take in the neighborhood of 36 pills a day. I'm a vet with ptsd as well so as you can imagine ED was and can be a constant problem. As cheesy as this may sound a huge help is a understanding loving partne. We have been married 15 years and together 25. When we discuss hey we are having sex tonight I will back off as much as I can from the pain meds and utilize my mood enhancing medication (divaprolex in conjunction with my zoloft) as the mental state is a big part of ED. My Dr and I figured out if I double dose my "Viagra" and actually the side affect is awesome with pop up elections over next 49 hours
