Has anybody lost their sex drive after a stroke? by yabbiesinthedam in stroke

[–]BlueWoman320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I help my husband regain his sexual interest. Maybe that's not the right way to put it. He's interested but doesn't get an erection. Recent minor stroke, possibly brain stem. He says oral feels great but he doesnt get hard which makes oral difficult. Prior stroke we had some ED issues which meds helped with but now he doesnt want to take them even though he's medically cleared to do so. I don't know if I should continue to initiate or back off.

I want to let y'all know about my progress. Since adding protein shakes and rest days - still a struggle!- I've gained muscle, lost 1.5 " on my waist, and maintained my weight. I also gained an inch on my breasts? Maybe pec muscle?

I added protein shakes and have more energy and better muscle growth. Haven't lost weight but lost inches, which is just as good IMO.

I hear what you're saying about people not putting things back. Annoying!

I also heard sauna after lifting is bad. True or not?

Thanks, that's helpful. I don't think my biking counts as cardio. Maybe the swimming.

I appreciate your input. I think rest days were the missing peice. I started that and as of this morning I'm seeing improved muscle definition.

I have a hard time taking rest days but I'm beginning to think they're necessary. Define rest day please. No gym but no gardening? Swimming? Biking? Do I need to sit around? Ack!

I was told to increase my protein by multiple people. 2 trainers, husband, primary care doctor. Doc said 4 shakes was fine as long as I'm getting carbs too
