32 weeks and 5 days

That is how long it took from the day I had surgery to getting a sustainable and useable erection from a 100 mg generic viagra. Which I achieved last night.

As my signature tells I only had one side spared with a nerve graft on the other. My PA told me that it would most likely take 1 to 2 1/2 years before I became functional again. At 40 that wasn't good news. Now that I am 41 I will outline what I did so that some of you who are discouraged like I was getting might be able to reproduce what I have done.

I used the vacuum pump immediately after getting my catheter taken out. Each morning and each evening I still use the product. I got the expensive one and paid for it out of my own pocket because insurance didn't cover it. I think it was totally worth the investment. What I do is pump 8 times and then hold it for a 20 count. I repeat that for a total of 5 times. Takes me about 5 or 6 minutes so any talk of there not being enough time is a cop out.

Every MWF I use 100mg generic viagra. My insurance doesn't pay for this at all so I have used info I found on this site and gotten it from all day. Each T-Th-S I use 250mg Muse. Don't like it, it burns. No pain no gain. I still use it. Insurance doesn't cover the cost but I have learned to use Trimix as an alternative and this reduces the overall cost considerably. Trimix once a week and Muse twice a week. *Muse is for therapy and hasn't been effective as a way to engage in intercourse*

A caveat or two to consider.

1. This past Saturday I finished 3 months of intense workouts called p90x. I dropped 18 pounds to 210 and can say I am in the best shape of my adult life. Motivation was simple and direct. I want to be better. I don't know if this made a difference or not in seeing increased activity with my sexual function. I am convinced it didn't hurt. At 6'4" my BMI is at 27 and I'm still considered obese by government standards. Crazy!

2. My wife and I have been struggling in our relationship for a few years. We are planning on getting divorced and it is unrelated to the prostate issue. She helped me out tremendously with getting better but I think its safe to say that her participation has been limited. Bottom line, you can still make it happen if you don't have a partner to help. (she did, just not as often as I would have liked).

3. Anyone who can't stomach a needle needs to man up and try trimix. *my wife does my shots so I'm gonna have to learn to do it myself now* When I started using it .20 was required. Three months later and I'm down to .10 and my PA is probably going to reduce my dose to 1/2 strength.

Good news indeed and thanks for the clear description of what you did.

April 23 I will be at 24 weeks.  Things are coming along quite nicely with a twice daily 15 min VED workout and just a bit of Viagara (15 mg) on MWF to prime the system.

The mast is starting to rise.

Hopefully in 8 weeks I will be able to match you fully!!
