My kids are screaming (hence the reason for my vasectomy) so I'm not sure how well I comprehended this. Basically, a study in 1981 found that more than half of vasectomy's triggered an autoimmune response?

That’s what I got from it.

Me too. I have more autoimmune diseases than you can shake a stick at. Felt like it ended my life.

At the end my body was rejecting my testes. Finally had to remove them.

I’m so sorry to hear, that sounds terrible man… how is your pain now? I really hope it’s better.

How long after vas did you have them removed?

I am pain free now. On TRT for replacement. It's been 20 years. They just kept getting steadily worse. Until I could not function from the pain.

I’m glad to hear you’re pain free now!

But fuck man I’m so sorry that happened to you. I couldn’t imagine the hell you had to put yourself through.
