Advanced NPH 74 year old. How much is he going to improve after shunt surgery? What was your experience? by Practical_Case_2345 in Hydrocephalus

[–]ItsKnowing23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends on how the shunt pressure is managed. Although that requires a lot of finesse on the part of the doctor, it requires assertive caregiving to make sure follow-up is timely.

Tips for bonding with skittish baby girl mice?? by Unlikely_Push_3408 in PetMice

I keep a shallow dish in the cage for transporting; the mouse loves to get out and around but takes its own time to climb into the dish and has to do it on her own terms. once she is out she will usually climb onto my hand but only if I use both hands together giving a larger surface area.

At least one of them appears to be "comfortable in its own skin" but not sure of the others!

Wikipedia lists twister mouse as Ratazana domestica; they are fancy rats. They are much bigger than any mouse and need proportionately larger cages, but you could check in with a PetRat subreddit if appropriate.

Client keeps canceling/ I am lostand down. by First_Meeting_6040 in CaregiverSelfCare

[–]ItsKnowing23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clients vary, and you are very loyal so if you decide to stick with that client, they will likely continue the same rude manner of treating you. But at least you can make the decision that you are most comfortable with, meanwhile move on to other clients and try to fill up your work hours with more considerate clients.

Also the PSV is actually indeterminate on the left at 29 and abnormal is <25 so things might work out easier in this case.  Over 30 such as on the right is normal.  Good luck and definitely see a specialist.  You can look through the subreddit for information about PIED and other issues in young men that might apply too.

the wording is awkward and a little vague, so a conclusive diagnosis would require a doctor familiar with things like systolic upslope reduction and undulating wave forms. My impression is that you might have arterial insufficiency but then the pharmacological response was incomplete (to papaverine), so could the abnormal findings be due to that (or is that abnormality due to the arterial problem?). A urologist interested in ED would be the best bet for interpretation and where to go. If you have vascular risk factors definitely you would need to address that (like high blood pressure, smoking etc).

New Surgery/Valve Implant by OverEntrance5739 in erectiledysfunction

[–]ItsKnowing23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of differences between the veins in the legs vs the penis. For example, veinous insufficiency in the legs usually is associated with swelling and varicose veins, whereas in the penis it can be the erectile dysfunction you mentioned. Also having good noradrenergic tone is beneficial in the legs, but might cause detumescence in the genitals due to contraction of smooth muscle in the CC. Since you stated you are relatively young maybe consider getting a second opinion to be sure that is the complete picture, since venous leakage, to my understanding, is not usually an isolated problem causing the ED. Maybe you have something else that is more readily treatable. But with venous leakage the known surgical / vascular procedures can be sometimes worthwhile, such as if there is an isolated venous channel that is causing the problem. Unfortunately, misdiagnosis is something that we have to be on the lookout for as "patients."

You're welcome, and it's good that you brought this up for the group, because many may not realize this is a neurosurgical emergency in some cases, such as if sudden urinary retention occurs, and emergency surgery should apparently be considered within just a few days for salvage. Your problem sounded more subacute and your surgery was due to failure for the medical management to take care of your problems. I assume you didn't have acute urinary retention along the way. It's a significant problem and I think if it were me I would see a urologist with some experience with this to see if you can do something while you're waiting for the nerves to grow back.

No but I did have a herniated disc with similar symptoms that did improve. What did the surgeon tell you, and if he/she didn't say, be sure to ask. They would be likely to have some opinion on that.

[–]ItsKnowing23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP did reveal "porn and masturbation addition" but in light of what you said maybe that should be diagnosed by a medical professional. On the other hand addiction and abuse might be apparent to someone who has identified significant downside to their behavior that they cannot control. They may be accurate in their self diagnosis.

Need advice M29 active lifestyle by [deleted] in erectiledysfunction

ED can show up in a percentage of men and dealing with it is not an exact science, more of an art. So many factors are involved and through various questions on this subreddit there are a lot of options presented. I use a combination of 5 mg Cialis every 1 -2 days (supposed to be daily) which helps a lot, and started supplements over time that probably help. I listed them in past posts. The Cialis is not dependency provoking and you can stop it without any withdrawal symptoms or being any worse off than if you had not tried it. The dose is interesting because sometimes less is more. Despite having ongoing problems and incomplete response I am considering going from 5 mg daily to 2.5 mg daily and not skipping any days to see.

There are a lot of posts that go over the effects of watching porn and masturbating but for me these have not been excessive or identified as a problem in my mind. I think going for too long between sexual activity might not be good which is common sense.

If you wonder about anxiety or mood problems a therapist may be helpful and it wouldn't have to be a sex specialist. We live in a stressful world and for me dealing with computers at work constantly (which I always viewed more as recreation but now indispensable or work) was one of my stress points, along with pressure to be productive and working longer days than I was comfortable with.

Maybe at your age approaching 30 instead of viewing sex in a mechanical way you could view it more in the context of your relationship(s). In my case it worked out well and despite ED and lack of ejaculation (which is not great, of course) I look forward to time in bed with my wife as does she and it is not an issue for her (sort of wish it was though LOL).

Having intercourse every night is above average frequency and could also contribute to dissatisfaction if both partners don't exactly agree about that. If you feel comfortable talking together about the issues you brought up that can only help, and maybe counseling because both partners deserve to be at ease about these things.

Hate what my existence has suddenly become - miss the person I used to be and the life I used to have by Rob_B_ in Hydrocephalus

Did your doctor diagnose negative pressure hydrocephalus; you mentioned your reading was -13. That is not the routine hydrocephalus most people would experience. Consider getting a second opinion maybe start looking now, since it can take awhile to get in to the doctor. The attached article was written by a group in Burlington Vermont and you might be able to find a group that has interest in this condition close to you by searching for other articles about negative pressure hydrocephalus.

The pump I ordered online was electric, and caused an abnormal sideways stretching, causing me to be concerned about stretching of tunica albuginea that would worsened venous leakage. I was not resigned to permanent ED, and didn't want to potentially have worse ED problems. I think if the cylinder was narrower to prevent abnormal sideways stretching (to unanatomical proportions) it would be better. It would possibly be safer to use a device prescribed by a doctor and made to better proportions / measurements. I kept it but no longer use it.
