    Linkage. ED and CHD .. I have both and am now 79. The CHD came first, including a quad bypass at 65, followed at age 77 with cleaning out the three old arteries and insertion of a stent into one of them at a weak spot, this followed months later with an ICD to keep me "operating". The ED seemed to begin about two years after radiation treatment for prostate cancer, my age then being about 70. None of the three otc ED drugs have helped much - perhaps 39-40%. Since I lost my wife of 50 years about 3-years ago, I found and married a beautiful woman of 74 recently (also losing her spouse of 50 years), I am therefore seeking additional or new treatment(s) for the ED, and am currently seeing a urologist for such. Since my CHD came first, I wonder if the ED had begun, perhaps in minor degree, at an earlier age then when 70. for

    ED I have and I am also a diabetic. I have had ED since I was 36 years of age, I was diagnosed as a diabetic when I was 45 years of age. I have been through all the needles (papervine) viagera,cealisis and some chinese cures but to no avail. I have not had any heart problems as yet, I am now 60 years of age. I left my partner because of the ED (unfair to her) and live alone. I now wonder if ED and heart condition + diabetes go hand in hand, if so I would say I am in big trouble.
