Hi everyone ,

I been away and now back to the board.

I hope everyone is doing well, and i wanted to share some thoughts and experiences on the ED front , we post PC treatment patiens experiencing.

I am almost 4 months post Open Surgery , and been doing really well with continence since the first month, but ED is moving slow.

I visited my Uro/ Surgen just last month; PSA is great , and he was hoping i am already functioning sexually, since he advised me that the operation went great and was clean cut as he expected , without much blood lose , and was a full Bi Laterat nerve sparing procedure.

I told him i am not yet at full functioning or full erations, and he reassured me that i will have a good and healthy sexuall functioning.

As i have said i am now 4 months post OP and i do see some slow progress and improvement, especiall after using 1/2 a dose of 100mg viarga (compare to the others like Cialis and levitra).
Sensetion and partial eration is there at this time, and about 80% eration after orgasms when masterbating (i guess it means that nerves and blood flow is there).

I wanted to post this to share and read some other experiences out there of those who have been or still is down that road, and learn about the road ahead of me and others like me...

Even though i have heard that 6 months is kind of the time frame to start and see some progress in the ED front, i would appriciate any responses and comments.

Again i hope everyone is doing well , and thanks for your helpful input.

PS: Debbie , Great rweading your post and i am happy Hubby is pogressing well !! i recall the stress you 2 been through at first !! Keep up the good work!!!!

Thanks GB! It's been a tough road emotionally for me but things are getting much better. :) My husband is doing great. And, we are better together. On the down side, my father in law is getting much worse very quickly from the PC. That was/is a big part of our stress while dealing with our own case of it. Seeing how awful that is... how painful... at late stages, would make everyone here more accepting of the effects of treatment and more grateful for their health! It is so sad that we lose sight of that part some times because of the side effects of treatment.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Sounds like your progress is good. Keep the faith! I'm not the best with patience but you are showing signs that the nerves are working so its only a matter of time. YEAH for you!

One thing I'd recommend for healing of nerves is vitamin B6 and B12. They worked for me (nerve damage from knee surgery) and are specific for nerve repair. Hubby is taking them also.

Did you hear this?

October 19, 2007 — Sudden loss of hearing has been reported in patients taking phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, the US Food and Drug Administration warned healthcare professionals yesterday

The warning was based on 29 postmarketing cases that occurred in a strong temporal relationship to dosing with sildenafil (Viagra, Pfizer, Inc), tadalafil (Cialis, Lilly ICOS, LLC), and vardenafil (Levitra, Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corp), which were taken for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Other cases were also reported during clinical trials


It is either hard.. or hard to hear!
