New user puzzled?????

Postby Bigjohnjr » Tue Jul 17, 2018 8:01 pm

Ok I am new to all of this.
I am 57 years old, had prostrate cancer last year.
Did 12 weeks of radiation and killed the cancer.

Now I have ED. UGH!

My doctor says that might happen, lucky me.
I have tried the pills, I get sick and nothing else happens, bad headaches, upset stomach, etc.
He recommended and implant my insurance said no.
He wrote me a script for caverjet, it hit or miss, I have only tried it 3 times.
He wrote me a script for trimix, got it today. Eh got hard but not hard enough. I could bend my penis in half easily.

i used .2 ml.
So now I am depressed again. I thought was the cure I was looking for.

Any ideas???? Should I increase the dose. I don't want to be rushed to the ER.
Age 56, divorced twice ( I never learn ) Been fighting ED for the past 4 years, Had prostrate cancer (finished rad June 2017). Tried all the pills no good, just makes me sick. Now using trimix, still trying to find that sweet spot. It's hit or miss.

You will get there 2 units ? I have to start times 10 to get where you are at. Did your doc tell you to up dose by ? Till you get there slow is the way to going

When I was injecting, my doctor said to go up by .5 until I got where I wanted to be. It took a while but, I finally found it... by then, I was ready for implant... that's me but, maybe you will like the injectables... I didn't.

I'm surprised the doctor didn't tell you how much to increase each time until you find the correct dose. Call and ask. But yeah, you need to bump it up. .2ml isn't much at all compared to what many use. Of course the strength of the mix can get bumped up too. No reason to get depressed as it sounds like you're on the way to getting it figured out.

I left a message with my doctor, If Cigna would pay for the implant this would be a non-issue.

I have wrestled with convincing my self to get the implant put in, have my dick cut open is not something I was looking forward too. Just to have Cigna say "no" you don't need it was a real disappointment.

Lets see what the doctor says, like I said. I got hard, just not hard enough.

Keep in mind that there is a learning curve to all of this. What works for one person might not for another. My first suggestion is to find a certified urologist that will work with you. Not someone that gives you a prescription and sends you home with little instruction. Lots of good info on the forum but keep in mind we're all different. Good luck...you'll get there.

Shoot me a private message and we can talk if you wish.
