Gilenya and Erectile Disfunction
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:55 pm
Since being diagnosed I've had a varying mild-to-moderate case of ED and anorgasmia. I tried cialis and viagra to treat, and while they certainly worked, I always found it difficult to get the timing right - which just added more stress to a stressful symptom.
Since starting Gilenya, I've felt like I was on one of those two constantly. None of the headache side-effects (at least, not as sever), but both the ED and anorgasmia are essentially gone. This started with the very first dose.
I know that Cialis and Viagra are essentially heart medications, and I know the biggest concern with Gilenya is the effect it has on the heart, so I'm wondering if there's a more direct connection than that it's improving my MS and so this symptom is lessening. It FEELS like I'm on C or V, rather than things just being normal again. Then again, maybe after 3 or 4 years, I don't remember what 'normal' feels like.
