Taboo? Sexual performance issues secondary to HCV?

I have read stats (sorry they are not at my fingertips) that ascertain an association between erection difficulties and HCV and/or advancing liver disease. I'm sure most have read of the association between HCV and depression which of course can contribute to such problems. I am interested in others experiences. I do not see this as a "social community" posting as it is a physiologic outcome of HCV i.e., erection difficulties with the advncing of Hepatitis C?

WOW Hector..... I have to say you nailed this subject.  What a great
answer.  I had never heard of anhedonia.... But I can tell you that was
my Incivek experience.   Thanks for pointing that out.  I found that to
be the hardest part of this treatment.  
Thanks Again : )

I have a theory and last time I mentioned it people thought I was joking but I'm not.
Mine is that low wbc reduce libido. Or at least it seemed to affect me that way.
What made me aware of this was when I was taking neupogen, the changes were noticeable, at least I certainly noticed them.

When you're on tx, your wbc tend to drop, same can be true with advanced liver disease, although I think when you are very ill, your body tends to focus on simply the basics of staying alive.

My drought started about 30 years ago! Interestingly enough, there does seem to be a little rain these days.
I suspect when the virus exited, it gave room for some life to flow.
Too little too late LOL!
