PRICKSTICKER PECKERCHECK
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 5:56 pm
I started using Trimix last November and just went back to the urologist on Tuesday for a 1 year follow-up appointment. I thought it might be productive to begin a new "chat" by posting the particulars of that check-up.
The app't began with the standard "pee in the cup" routine that I suppose is obligatory with any urology appointment. The doctor came in a few mintues later and asked me how things were going. I told him I had a smile on my face and a spring in my step. He was obviously pleased and essentially asked me to elaborate. So I told him how I had reduced the dosage from the original 30 units down to 2 or 3 units per injection and that I had had more sex in the past year than in the previous 5 years. And I commented on how psychologically devastaing this ED stuff is for a man and how happy I was to find solution. He offered some comments about the psychological part of ED and suggested that one reason I have been able to reduce the dosage is the confidence I have gained that I will indeed get an erection--therefore it's easier. He hastened to add that you cannot ever underestimate the power of the drug. We also discussed the rehabilitative effects of trimix--random hard-ons when the wind blows, etc. Again, he talked about tissue healing and psychological factors. he also commented that he starts his PCa patients on injections pretty soon after surgery, both for the tissue rehab and the psych part. I think he said two weeks. I thought that was really interesting.
I told him about <healingwell.com> and about <franktalk.com>. He seemed to have a positive view of peer driven websites, but I'm thinking he would be hesitant to recommend (endorse?) any website, medical or otherwise, even with a thorough vetting. We also talked about the issue of decreased sensitivity/delayed ejaculation and his basic comment was "it is what it is". In other words, it's often just part of the whole picture and they don't have a remedy for that--at least not yet. I did tell him that I am always able to "finish up" with manual stimulation and he was pleased about that. His comment: "that is the objective, after all, isn't it?"
He then asked me to "drop trou" and he examined Little G, both manually and visually, explaining that he was checking for scarring and any signs of Peyronie's. None found! Woohoo! Then of course, we did the "turn around and bend over" part--not pleasant for either of us. Again, good news: no external evidence of prostate abnormality, at least none beyond my existing BPH. Double woohoo! He finished up by telling me to keep doing what I was doing and to call the office whenever I needed more happy juice. And that he wanted to see me again in a year. On the way out, I stopped by the lab so they could draw blood for my PSA test.
So it was very good appointment. I was pleased to hear that my 3 and 4 hour erections have not caused any ill-effects to my favorite body part. No less important, his thoroughness confirmed for me that I have the right urologist.
Any question, guys, please let me know. For others of you who have been back for a follow-up exam, I'd like to read how it went for you.
Hard times to all,
Greg
