Erection issues combined with other problems

Posted , 2 users are following.

Not sure where to put this, but since ED is a symptom, I figured here is a good bet.

Tiredness, I always feel worn out. Sleep 10 hours and still feel like I need more. Almost falling sleep at random times during the day, even standing - yes, I have fell asleep standing before.

Since i was a kid I have always felt very disconnected. Like I'm here, but almost a spectator in my own life, if that makes sense.

I also have a lot of similar symptoms to bipolar, where my mood can swing in literally a matter of minutes. Only thing different than others is, I have always been very quiet. Never really say much. Have trouble with normal conversation. Always kind of stuck in my head, I guess.

I can't watch a movie without falling asleep at least once. When I do fall asleep, I don't even know I did until I wake up minutes later.

I have shortness of breath at times, from doing nothing strenuous.

I get lightheaded and dizzy once in a while

pale skin - I have trouble tanning even a little. I usually just get really red from the sun.

I get a numb/tingling feeling in the hands or toes sometimes

Poor coordination. I can be very clumsy.

My reflexes are very slow.

Mental confusion - I can get confused at the simplest things and people have to say things again.

Bad short term memory - I go to do something, and I forget it in seconds.

I get ringing in ears quite a lot

I have bad peripheral vision/see spots sometimes.

Popping/cracking joints

Full body twitching in sleep

Muscles can twitch by themselves

Muscle weakness - i have trouble holding weight over my head for more than few seconds until my arms start to shake.

I get very painful muscle cramps, everywhere including my fingers.

I sometimes have bowel movements that clog the toilet and hurt to pass.

I sometimes get palpitations, where my heart starts racing and beating weird for no reason.

My lymph nodes in my neck swell up maybe 2-3 times a year, and are sore to touch, usually I get acne when this happens.

I went to a Cardiologist, because of high blood pressure, and told all these symptoms and he ran blood tests and everything was 100% normal.

Liver, kidneys, heart, cholesterol, thyroid. No diabetes. B12 normal at 292. Nothing was abnormal. Very healthy minus the blood pressure. He said is was genetic.

I have also had erection issues for many years, I am in my late 30s. By myself or during sex it's usually very weak. Like a floppy sausage.

The times it does get very hard is in my hand with constant stimulation, I let go and it lasts seconds until it falls like a lightswitch turning off as it quickly seizures down. Other times, when I get awakened fast in the middle of the night.

For the erection issues I went to a Urologist and all blood tests were fine, testosterone was good. Physically my penis is 100%. Said the one thing it could be is some psychological issue.

When I started blood pressure meds I was also taking injections of B12 everyday, some days twice. i remember this, because not only was my head focused and calm,

and I also didn't fall asleep randomly during the day, and during those few days I got really strong erections. Like never before. I guess this is what people call "normal" erections.

I could actually move around without losing it. Stand up, lay down, walk around. I'm not sure why I was trying the multiple B12 injections a day, probably something I read. I have always tried self medicating with supplements.

I'm not sure what type of effect it was having in my body, but possibly my answer lays there.

Around 14 years ago, I cut out gluten, dairy and I was taking a ton of vitamins and supplements, much higher than normal recommended doses for over a year.

There were months during that time, where my concentration was very clear, as well as my thoughts and everyone even noticed I was like a different person.

I also noticed the cracking joints were gone and a chunk of symptoms, actually. Because of money, I wasn't able to continue with the supplements beyond that.

Any idea what this could be? It's obviously something that has been lifelong and not a recent development.
