I was speaking to a woman about her husband who underwent dialysis while in a comatose state. He had a week's worth of hemo while comatose but when he came out of it and came home, he lost the ability to have an erection. Viagra, pumps, nothing seems to be doing the trick. He hasn't had another need for dialysis since then.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing happening? I can't imagine what went through that man's head when he woke up.

Seems like I read somewhere that's a common problem with kidney disease. Yes, No?

Why was he in a coma in the first place?  His problem may not have anything to do with the dialysis.

Every thing is wide open apparently. It seems was in the state from drinking himself almost to death. Probably a good indicator of being comatose, but he was still getting morning wood until after he started dialysis.

Glitter, so glad to have you back.  Hope things are well for you my dear! 

HOD, was he in a coma because he drank or did he drink himself in to a coma?
