Re: Fw: FDA panel rejects Merck drug for prostat

[Guest guest]

I was treated for prostrate cancer 4 years ago with radiation theropy, seed implants and harmone theropy. Viagra never worked to have successful intercourse, but the injection did sometimes. Now the injection doesn"t work I feel good and want a sex life again. What do you suggest other than an implant.?

Viagra never worked for me but I found out a couple of months ago that

Lavitra does. I have to wait about an extra hour over what they suggest

and then it lasts for a number of hours. It even does the trick it even

helps out the next day, although I don't suspect older (I'm 72) men have

to worry about the four hour erection warning. Might be worth a try but

you need someone (sort of desirable) to make it work the best. Of

course if your desperate I suppose you could close your eyes.....

Good Luck,

Knowing that I am destined to the same

fate as you I have been following the implant group for several months. The

satisfaction rate is pretty high for an implant with most of the comments being

“why didn’t I do this earlier”. About the only other option

you didn’t mention was a VED or vacuum assisted device. I am surprised you

didn’t have to try that too. I also used muse for a while but that is

really just the same stuff as a the shot only in a easier (!?) to use form.

Very satisfied with my implant--although I'm now at castrate level with Lupron & Casodex & have no desire to use it...Life is GOOD & my partner & I are enjoying each day & having a blast!

A complicated answer for a complicated question . . .

1. Have you been using injections _regularly_ for the past 4 years? Or did you

do a few, and then stop?

2. What injection mix are you using? What dose?

3. How old are you?

The usual order of " erection helpers " is:

.. . . Viagra / Levitra / Cialis

.. . . . Vacuum pump and/or penis rings

.. . . . . Injections

.. . . . . . Implant.

So, if you can't get injections to work, an implant is the next logical step.

Some men (with weak reactions to injections) have used injections _with_ a penis

ring -- improved results.

There's a group devoted to PCa and sexual problems -- the " PCAI " group at:

page.
