I am 6 foot 6 and weight 300 pounds. Former SEC basketball player in college.

I had an incident in 2000 back in maine where I drove a wellpoint 40 feet into the ground and lost feeling in my left arm and left foot. Right foot and right arm were fine

Went to Deaconess Medical Center in XXXXXXX to see neurologist. Checked my left arm and left foot. said feeling should return in left arm. In a month feeling did return in left arm. But left foot has has neuropathy since that incident. Started to gain weight because I could not play basketball anymore. Had thyroid issue for some time and was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes and diabetes about 1 year ago. Dr. told me to ride bicyle and have been doing so. Have lost about 15 pounds. Still have a ways to go. Also, only drink cranberry juice with 1 gram of sugar. I love riding the bike. But this ED stuff has persisted for a while. Tried Viagra and it did not help at least from online pharmacy.

Prefer to order online because if I go thru my DR. it is very expensive. Do you know a legit online pharmacy? The right foot started to experience issues about two years ago
and so in 2016 was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and now diabetes.
With Farixga A1C went down form 11.5 to 8.75. Dr, wants to get it down below 6.1.

Brief Answer:
It will be reversible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Sorry for the delay in my response,

ED you have is most probably linked to your high A1c levels. At levels of 8.5 one can expect vascular and neural disturbances. Well, almost always this is reversible and happens withing 3 to 6 months of attaining the A1c target. I would not ask for a 6.1 but any level less than 7 will start reversing most of the complications.

Why don't you try Walmart online pharmacy for a legit viagra.

Hope, I answered your query.
