Side affects from Viagra getting passed on to my partner

[Flannigan]

Hello,
I am a 53 year old male and have been using different ED drugs for about 5 years now. I am currently using Viagra as it seems to give me the quickest results with the least amount of side affects. I take about 25 mg a session.

At first I had the normal flushing and congestion and felt very tired and drained the next day (also common side affect). However, more recently I have been getting severe lower back pain, leg pains and pains in my ass. The pain even travels up to my shoulder area as well. I also notice my hands, face and feet are somewhat swollen and my hands will fall asleep at night way more than they used to and it's not from me sleeping on them. I feel awful and swollen. It's very uncomfortable. I felt like I had a blood disorder or cancer. I have also tried Cialis and Levitra and the side affects were even worse.

However, what was most alarming is that my girlfriend is starting to feel the same symptoms. She was not aware that I was even taking it for 2 years so I know she was not trying to copy my symptoms. She started complaining of body aches all the time and feeling tired and sick the following day after a good session the night before. That's when I started to get suspicious that she was feeling the side affects too but when she started telling me that her hands were falling asleep all the time for no reason, that's when I knew the Viagra was now in her system and affecting her. I had to tell her. It was very difficult and still is. As much as I love this women and the sex is the best I have ever had with anyone I just feel like I can't keep doing this to both of us. The side affects really don't bother us until the day after we have sex. The shear pleasure of having sex with her overrides and pain in our bodies.

It concerns me that there are not more people writing about this as I am certain we can't be the only couple suffering from this. I think the big drug companies do very good job of scouring the internet and taking down as much bad publicity as they can. I have tried just about everything from all kinds of special herbs and spices and different supplements but can't seem to find anything that works.

Is anyone else experiencing similar affects ? Can anyone offer some other suggestions of what we can try ?

Thanks
Flannigan

What does/do your doctor(s) say? What would be the pathway for Viagra in your bloodstream to be transmitted to a partner?

I am certainly no Dr here but I seriously doubt that your GF's symptoms are directly related to yours but more of a coincidence. The side effects of ED drugs can be hard to deal with as I speak from experience. I was on the pills for some 10 yrs and paid the price (literally) each time I used them. I suffered from aches and pains like you describe and only after the Insurance quit paying did I start researching other meds for my ED problem.

I know everyone is different but Trimix injections are the best thing that ever happened to me. Not only are they inexpensive they are reliable and with no side effects if used properly. Your GF should probably consult a Dr with her symptoms as it could be an issue that needs to be addressed. Best of luck to you!
