Hi everyone , I think I may have this , have some snowball effect of one problem lead to another to another and now small white patches on glans. I already in a extremely bad situation with health and what it has done to my life and adding this... it is killing me mentally , I feel nobody would want to be with someone with so many things . I know most of you would feel the same. I just wanted to talk with some people who have some issues and imperfections and I don't know.. feel in good company who understand .

    Feeling low, particularly in the beginning stages is not easy. You feel helpless and pretty alone. BUT....in time you will figure out what helps and works for you. Yes, there will be flare ups, and bad days, but in time, you will find peace again.

    Dear John (First Dear John letter I have written in awhile),

    1. You are not alone but in very good company.
    2. There are lots of people with lots of problems. There must be one for you. This is not contagious.
    3. I, too, feel the same way. Sex right now would not be possible, likely make th ings work. But it's ok.
    4. Mentally, I am depressed as you are and most of us are. At the bottom line, I must go forward, do what I can do, and if that's not enough then the Man Upstairs knows where I am.
    5. You have a social support network where you are? Have you talked to any of your friends? I have talked to a couple of friends. Some walked away, some did not. Find those in your life who won't walk away. Those are valuable friends. Are you a man of faith?

      Best wishes. Hang in,

      biscuit

    Hi there, have you had a diagnosis? Having LS is a blow and hard to deal with at first but with the right medical care, it becomes a 'new normal' and people on this site do still have sex lives. Please don't give up hope - get the best possible medical advice and take it from there. You are not alone.
