I notice that one of my legs slightly jerks when I’m sitting.  Its minimal but I notice it.  Not even my wife is aware yet.  Hope she doesn’t since it will upset her.

I tend to try and find an activity that is incompatible with being aware of what is frustrating me.  Difficult but helpful at certain times.

Hi Ally,

I was pleasantly surprised to see you took time to respond and want to thank you for being so kind.  I have personal reasons I would rather not discuss in this forum that explain my hesitation for seeing a make physician.  I actually have a very good relationship with my current doctor and have been thinking of ways I could approach my situation without offending her in any way.  It’s possible I’m just overthinking this since it’s not that I mind discussing the problem with a doctor… I just don’t know how to initiate the conversation.  Crazy, I know.
Im always open to suggestions if you or others have thoughts about it.

Thank you again for reaching out.

Maybe doctors could include some sexual performance questions on the paperwork patients get before every appointment to complete in order to update our medical records?   The doctor could use our responses as a springboard for discussion of sexual issues.  Just a thought.

I wish doctors would initiate this topic with their patients.  I really like and trust my doctor but she never brings it up.  At my age I’m reluctant to bring it up but would definitely talk about it with her.  I still want to enjoy that part of my life even though my wife is no longer interested.  My tremors make trying to satisfy my own needs very difficult.
