I am struggling with something. Not sure if it's the Tamsulosin or the Dutasteride; both are quite unpleasant drugs from what I have read about them. Let's just say, I see no point in seeking out a new relationship any time soon, they have killed the desire and the performance stone dead! The retrograde ejaculation is also a problem. Wouldn't mind so much if they were having any positive effect and doing what they were supposed to do, but no; they haven't done a thing. In fact my flow is a lot worse than it was pre meds.. I discussed this with the urology nurse but she says that things would be even worse if I wasn't taking these meds. Sometimes I wonder..... It all seems to be a bit of a guessing game, and ifs buts and maybes when it comes to urology.
Then there are the breathing issues, which means I currently struggle with cycling or anything remotely strenuous - and as a result the fitness nosedives. On the flat with a tailwind, fine. Hit any type of climb and forget it. Is it the meds? Is it lungs or heart? Is it long covid? Is it something else? Each test results in another 6 month wait. Fourteen months now, and counting. No further forward. So who knows?
Currently waiting for a CT scan of the lungs which I was told was the next step, having seen the consultant at the respiratory clinic - in January. So 3 months, and not even any notification of an appointment yet.
