Erections return!

After my brachytherepy ED became a major problem, I had tried Viagra and Tadafil and injections and even pills plus injection ( on medical advice). None really worked so I had no option but to simply give up. I was diagnosed Feb 2019 so in Feb 2023 that will be four years.  I have recently achieved penetrative sex for the first time in those four years. 

I don't know how or why, although I did take 100mg of Viagra "in case" or more in hope really :-) well it worked.  Erections are probably 70% and I am not complaining.

The reason for posting this is to give others in a similar situation some cause not to give up.  I can only assume that "time is indeed a great healer" , I even have a small amount of ejaculate, OK its very small but again it will do.

Now all I need to do is to get my wife interested again!

That is great news, Sparrow - all these doom monger consultants who say that there is no further recovery after two years are talking rubbish. John made most progress between years 2 and 3.
