CPT: 307, 313
Looking for information on these codes at the bottom of my liver biopsy report... CPT: 307, 313; & ICD: 571.8, Can anyone help me? Thanks, Susie
Side effects of ED treatments (for me) seem to include lots of facial flushing, nasal congestion, eye sensitivity, and for about 24 hours after using, a 'heaviness' or fatigue, along with dull headache. It's all generally worth the sides, though! But, I would love to not have to put up with them, ideally. Now, today, I had no need for the ED drugs at all, and could tell from the time that I woke up. Each day is different, physiologically, and on some days, it just seems almost 'dead'. I think the nerve endings must go through 'flares', or down phases, etc. Maybe the interferon causes an autoimmune reaction that periodically knocks out the 'nerve' related components of erection. This may come and go, in cycles. At least that is how I experience it. I just don't think that it is vascular in nature. My blood flow seems fine in all other areas. Seems nerve related. Just my observations....hope it helps.

I found that tx diminished the quality of my erections, and has had a long term effect. Before my first tx there were no problems, but toward the end, and after, I experienced frequent E.D., and the problem continued right through the second tx. Now, after more than a year since finishing my 2nd tx, and being fully SVR, I find the problem to persist, but it is getting less intense, and more sporadic. Some days, everything is fine, other days, no go...... It is similar to other post-tx symptoms that I have experienced...like ongoing arthritic pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath. All of those sx are slowly improving...but are still there frequently. I have often used either Viagra or Levitra since first experiencing this problem, and found either drug to fully do the trick...but the side effects are not much fun. (I used them THROUGHOUT tx, and that was fun, but scary..with the anemia!!) Also, I do not want to be dependent on ED drugs for the rest of my life. So now I frequently go without it, and if things work well, then I am thrilled.... and on days when it ...peters out...so to speak...oh well...try again another time. I have become less upset and anxious about the whole thing...and figure I will deal with it regardless of how things progress.
This is a side effect of TX that they don't tell you about, and I would bet that it is more common than we realize!!!
I would also like some feedback from the rest of the forum!!
My worst post-tx effect is horrible dry eyes...which are gritty and often irritated as well. Causes headache, blurred vision, and eye pain,. Waking up is miserable!
For the ED, I will continue to exercise, get back to more normal conditioning, wait for two to three years post-tx to make a real judgement about the condition...then will see some serious doctors!!! This condition had better reverse, or SP will hear from me!

571.8 is liver disease, 307 may have to do with speach.
313 has to do with anxiety.
These are not to specific, you may want to try to search the web for cpt and icd codes. Hope this helped alittle

I think Cuteus answered that question well so I'm taking the liberty to ask another of my own.
Have any men on tx experienced sexual dysfunction related to tx? That is, desire is normal-high actually-but erections are half mast or less, so to speak. This problem became more and more pronounced in the course of tx and now 6 months post is inconvenient to say the least. Thank God for an understanding and desirable woman. I'll be appreciative of any advice in this regard from any forum members at any point of tx pre or current or post-male or female.Thanks
