In response to:
I don't know if the urologist is "uninterested" - maybe challenged because you clearly have a variety of conditions going on and both the conditions and the meds may be causing - complicating - excacerbating the ED.   So the fact that you are seeking advice from other doctors is reasonable and I would not assume that you won't get help from these 2 specialists - let's be a bit optimistic.  That being said, my next words may sound a bit harsh - but i would ask you if you are carryin extra weight -causing the apnea - because if you are then I'll tell you htat I've written several blogs relating to the causes of ED - and being overweight and/or having apnea can be at the root.  If you are overweight then arterial compromise in the genitalia and even nerve damage from that physiology can happen.  The meds you are taking can also be causing the problem - again, I'd see if some of the medications can be tapered and other therapy instituted.  Clearly your neuropathy may be a factor - so seeing the neurologist may offer some substantial insights.  You are on the right track from the perspective of seeking advice - but I'd see what you can do yourself to resolve some of what is going on - even minimally and of course with advice from your doctors.
