Re: Viagra-contraindications and side effects

[Guest guest]

Read about the 'contradindications' and 'side effects' of it at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagra if your type of CMT has eye

problems with it, such as the 'hereditary retinal disorders'

mentioned, it may not be a good idea to take. Under 'side effects',

pay attention to the 'loss of peripheral vision' that may happen.

The entire issue has not been researched and while none of the

medication alert lists have Viagra on it, I'd consider it toxic if it

causes this. The same for Botox. It has not been adequately

researched, it not on the medications alert list, but should be.

You might want to read the info in our File titled " Sex and

Performance in CMT " . Dr. Vinci's newest article is there.

While you are somewhat young for this next suggestion, you might want

to ask your doctor about a penile implant which would eliminate the

need for medications like Viagra and at the same time improve your

Quality of Life.
