How Hard (no pun intended) is it to claim ED secondary to PTSD?

Do the MH Dr need to note this  or the PCP?  WHO?

According to this link?

Anybody know if its a 10% rating?

It is well know in medical literature that all the SSRI inhibitors cause ED.  Opiates also cause ED and loss of interest as well. If you have DMII due to AO that is a cause of ED.  Many causes of ED due to wonder drugs VA uses.  Do you use any of the Prozac family of drugs for depression?  If so that is direct cause of ED in males and lack of ability to reach orgasm in  both females and males.  They used to use the Prozac type drugs for premature EJack.  Too much of a good thing and now no ejack.   This can be good for some females as males works away and cannot himself achieve orgasm while woman has about ten in a row.  Frustration for poor old guy who can sometimes be hard as a rock but never get off.  This happens to mostly younger guys.

Well I have Lost interest in sex  B/C of ED, wife trys but not enough  it won't stay erect so leaves her frustrated.

I have problems talking like this to my female Dr's  if they say I ain't much of a man because of it  I will be very depressed then.

 My  MH Dr (Phyistrist) is a bit rugged  she eyes balls me from head to toe every time I see her.( a flirt) she is the one that would not help me with my ptsd claim probably b/c I show no flirting back with her.

 I believe its the PTSD Meds and Prostate Meds doing  it or the cause of it?  before I started taking these meds  I was fine down south no problems with premature or errections.

No Dr has said but I never Ask?

I have an ITF claim good until Jan 2017  3 months left. was going to file secondary Sleep Apnea  to PTSD but changed my mind on that when my MH Dr mention to me that the Meds I currently take for PTSD Depression / Anxiety, Will not cause sleep Apnea 

she up my Anxiety meds about 6 months ago to higher MG and more to take each day if I need them. take as needed.

Hell I thought about just taking the whole damn bottle and end this shit.

I'll list some of my PTSD Meds on here  but right now I take 19 different Meds.  I need to sort through all my Meds anyway.

             PTSD meds and prostate meds are probably the culprits.  You do need a doctor to say that your ED is caused by the drugs you are using to treat your PTSD and prostate meds.  I would try and get an outside doctor who is not afraid of losing their jobs if they were to possibly support your claim for $100.    About half the meds I take would put a horse to sleep.  Get that $103 a month.  You deserve it.  All of us with these drug induced problems deserve it.  Opiates and any of the Benzo's tend to aggravate OSA.  This is what my VA doctors tell me.  Do you have DMII from AO exposure?

No don't have DDII as for as I know never been tested for that?

AO registry shows no AO problems.

I had a Neuclear Heart Stress Test couple weeks ago and it came back with Abnormality's and have to go to the cardiologist the 13th for The Groin Catheter  (which I dread sensitive down there)

My PCP recently put me on something Called ATORVASTATIN 20 MG 1/2 Tablet daily  to Reduce cholesterol plus 81 mg Asprin until I see the cardiologist.

I will ask my Dr's about the ED my PCP Might help but she would not help me with my PTSD Claim either No DBQ  nothing...said I'll have a C&P for that.

I think my best bet is just see a private Dr and see if he will connect it to my PTSD  Meds and go from that ...>IMO.

They (VA) Can read my process Notes from my Healthyvet  and I can make copy's and send them.  if anything is said about the ED?

I do need to mention it to them and see if my PCP will throw some Vi-agra pills my way.

Is ED hard to prove for a claim? if I get a Specialist Dr to state likely as not caused by PTSD Meds and name those Meds?

  b/c I doubt my PCP or MH Dr will help me.

What about the PTSD  Meds They took me off of  & added new (damage has been done) correct?

I'd Spend a little $$ on a private Dr.

$ 103 Month Extra would sure help us out.

Buck, Pun intended, Quit Dicking around. Send the Secure Msgs requesting the ED DBQ to your PCP, Urologist and MH Clinician. Remember to give a Reader's Digest version of your ED Symptom Timeline.

You Officially file a request for their assistance on your MHV Secure Msg, the Request is Noted in your VMC Med Record within a couple days, as is their response to your Msg.

After you get the response, attach a copy to your ED FDC and hit the Submit Button. With your ED Issues discussion being in your respective VMC Clinician's Treatment Notes &/or the DBQs, an ED C & P should be unnecessary.

The SMC K Award would be added to your 100% Comp + SMC S (1) for a total of about $3545.00 per mos (Vet w/Wife).
