3 years ago I was diagnosed with Hep
B (I had no symptoms until massive swelling began). After an initial
doctors visit and a referral to a gastroenterologist I found that I had
end stage liver disease. I was evaluated and placed on the transplant
list at Vanderbilt University Hospital (Nashville, TN). After my med
regime was regulated I have maintained the same status of health with
the Hep B being barely detectable and my liver having no further damage
done to it. So, the Hp B was controlled. However, with the symptoms of
liver disease coupled with the side effects of many of my meds, I am now
not the man I was. I lost all muscle mass (atrophy) in my arms and legs
and torso, I have put on 50-60 pounds (due to being inactive and the
fact that some gain weight, while others lose weight). I am single and
still have desire to have a companion, but, I am also left with a very
low libido, and erectile dysfunction due to the disease and meds. I
haven't lost the mental need but I can't offer the physical needs that
most men want. Would you say that I am stuck with this and I should just
give up until after I have the transplant (that could be anywhere from 2-8
years, depending on my declining health) OR can you help me come up with a
way to meet a man that wants romance, likes oral stimulation, and isn't
afraid of the word disability and what it implies (I am only bringing in
social security benefit checks...very little money per month). Can you
give me some advice Max? I have been honest with guys and they go running.
I have withheld info but then it comes time for more intimacy and I have
to tell them I can't deliver the way they want. What should I do Max?
