Hello, I am a 19 year old college student who was diagnosed with Diabetes about one year ago as I was about to go into freshman year of college. I used to use this thing called Neuroprogrammer 2 which is something known as brainwave entrainment. I used this to combat depression and anxiety. While using this, I noticed that my sex drive and sexual function were severely reduced, and my penis would tingle, be numb, and be painful at times. It has been almost a year since my diagnosis, and ever since I stopped using the brainwave entrainment program, my sex drive is still severely reduced and their is little to no orgasmic feeling there. I thought this might have been attributed to many different sorts of things. I had my doctor check my hormone levels, nutrient levels and everything else. He said my vitals were nearly spot-on and my A1C was a 4.6. Since it has been a year since my sex drive has been gone, I have become extremely frustrated and upset, to the point that constantly thinking about my problem has taken over my life. I hate this. I cant believe that my sex drive would be gone as a 19 year old male. My friends in college are very sexually active, and I keep thinking how unbelieveable it is that I can barely orgasm and have a severe lack of energy, rapid/irregular heartbeat, and have in general just not been enjoying college because of this. There would be times where I would break down and cry about this problem, and no matter what ive tried, no doctor has ever been able to figure out what is wrong with me.
SO
After careful research, and the suggestion of my psychiatrist that this could be due to something called neuropathy (or nerve damage), I began investigating. I also forgot to mention above that recently I have noticed sharp pain and tingling in my feet, which gave me an indicator that this probably was due to neuropathy. I did some research on neuropathy and found that vitamin b12 was used to successfully cure this disorder. Starting today I have began using vitamin b12 supplements, and so far the tingling in my feet has receded a little bit, but it is still very much there. As for my sex drive, I am only praying that the b12 will bring it back in full force, because I fear that I may not find a will to live anymore if this problem in my orgasmic nerves is irreversible. What I want to know is whether or not vitamin b12 will help my sex drive recover and give me a will to live again, because I feel trapped in a box with no emotions or care for anything without it.
I was also diagnosed with clinical depression about a 2 years ago, but have since stopped using medications and cope with it pretty well. I tried wellbutrin because my doctor suggested that it might bring back my sex drive, but it did absolutely nothing and only made me more tired. I would also like to know if there are any other nutrients out there I should take to begin the recovery process of nerve damage? Thank you!
PS: I have no problem getting an erection and maintaining it. I also am able to masturbate and finish in sufficient time, but its just there is no orgasmic feeling during this.

July 17th, 2010...walk as the pain is
so bad. I watch my sugar and take medicine as I"m a light diabetic. The pain seems to be getting more intense as the weeks go on. The other day I took a walk as it wasn't so bad when I started. I walked maybe 1/2 mile and on the way back it got so intense I was starting to wonder if I was going to make it back. I was ready to flag down a car because it was so bad. I take gabapentin but it doesn't seem like its working anymore. I do have a serious back injury also. What can I take that will help be deal with this horrible pain as I can't do anything! If somebody said for me to stand on my head for 24 hours I would do it.

Foot Pain Problems…What could it be?
July 17th, 2010I am 13 years old girl and have been having foot pain problems since mid-march. It all started at volleyball practice when I was running steps for conditioning. It hurts the most when I have been standing on hard surfaces, going up or down steps, or had my foot in an awkward position. I am overweight, but not too bad. What do you think is wrong with it? Should I see a doctor? What should I do to make it better?
