1 year post-prostatectomy and 5 months after Trimix
Posted: Sat May 15, 2010 6:47 pm
It's been just a bit over a year since open surgery for prostate cancer.
It's been a little over 5 months since starting Trimix.
The first several months after surgery were frustrating. I was getting great results with my VED for a while. That stopped. The oral meds didn't do much except give me a headache and stuffed nose. Finally, I started Trimix in Dec of 09. I've done a bit more than a dozen injections.
I had priapism and an ER visit early on. That was at less than a 0.1 mL injection. My ED doc diluted the prescription to 50%. So, now I'm at actually about 1/4 of my original prescription strength when I inject (yes, about 0.025 mL). That still is a lot for me. Last injection ended up with an over 3 hour erection that was starting to get painful. Two Sudafed fixed that after about 45 minutes.
ED doc says that is good news and thinks the Trimix has given me a jump start on recovery. I get lots of good residual effect after injection lasting several days and more recently some decent partial wood without any meds.
Interesting observation: My rock hard Trimix injections seem much smaller than the natural partial wood I'm starting to get between injections. I think I'm probably in that bit of a twilight zone heading for full recovery and maybe oral meds will do some good now. Anyone else have this happen?
Anyhow, good news and I believe I may have a good chance at normal usable wood in the future.
All for now and wishing everyone good wood.
