Injections started today

Promised I would post after my appointment today re: injection therapy. The whole process went very well. The doctor explained what the medicine was (Tri-mix) how it works and how to do the injection. Then we did the first one together. Must admit that the needle looked very BIG but was a mere prick and took only a few seconds. The results were fast and very , very good, I'd say 75%. The amount I used was fairly low as this was just a teaching situation. My Dr. said with a little more med. and some stimulation I'dd have what I have been waiting for for 5 mos., I nice hard erection. Yippee. The compounding pharmacy is to get the meds to me in the next week or so, I have been instructed to use it at least three times a week (yippee)  until I get the doosage correct. For those of you on the fence about injuctions, I heartely advise you to give them a go.

Way to go Pete! Keep us posted.

Starting with .05 and incremental increases of .o5 after that. He also said that some of his patients also have good results using in combination with 50 viagra, that it was up to me to find out what works best for me. He is definately of the opinion that early injection therapy helps in bringing about spontaneous erections more quickly to those of us that seem to have a little trouble in the beginning.

Hello!  Also new to Tri-Mix at a recommended dosage of 0.2cc to start next Monday.

The first trial injection was for 0.1cc and in 20 minutes I was about 50% erect for about 45 minutes.  This was unbelievable after 10 months in adition to trying five other unsuccesful methods.  I am anxious as a little kid. 

Based on experience, can anyone tell me if the erection will persists after climax?  I have had Robotic RP 10 months ago with very limited success along the way.  I'm a little down but have not given up.  But the idea of an erection after climax seems outstanding.

Thanks, Geon

Geon,

As lawink says the erection does last after climax. My experience is the same with it lasting about 2 hours. Higher dosages that I tried until settling on my present level of .20 cc's of Bimix made the erection last longer but did not give me any more firmness. What you have to realize is that the erection will become firmer with stimulation so the 50% you got in the office may hav been a lot more at home.

A very special thank you to all.

I'ts great to be able to relate to males and females about your most intimate issues.

My penile functions have been dead for me and my wife for 10 months.  I am 64 but throughout my life I have been blessed with much tosterone and always ready.  My wife was very receptive in all ways and that was great.  Now we are in a different world.  Orgasms are not easy unless you use much astroglide, caressing, manual stimulation and limited oral stimulation as well.  Many times orgasms or climax does not take place for me but I do continue for the benefit of my wife to satisfy her. 

As stated earlier, over the last 10 months after Robotic RP I have been on Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, Vacuum Pump and Muse....no sucess except for about 40% erection.   Not stuffable or al leastt we can't seem to do so.  Now, starting tomorrow I am determined to try trimix on

on my own without the female assistant at the doctors office.  I'm scared but determined.  It was such a pleasant and exillirating experience at the office ( like the first night of my wedding...) that I can't wait.  My physicians assistant suggested using trimix (0.05) twice a week and 020 when we wanted to get intimate but also continuing VED for exercise only once daily on off days.

If I do get erections, I would like to satisfy my wife at least throughout her climax stage with a comfort and maybe al little more.  Two orgasms for me would be great but that is not my goal.  I hope for a delayed climax so both can enjoy.

Any side effects from the trimix?  It seems like a miracle to me.

Am I out of reason here?

Thank you all.  Look forward to your response and support.

Thank you also Pete42, James C., CVK, Tamu and all.  Most reasuring.  What agrand feeling to know that someone else is in the same boat.  Hope I can be of some support to you in the coming months.

Geon

Pete,

Great for the erection even if it was 75%! As a male it is unexplainable and feels so leavening.  Like you died and went to heaven I guess.  What a heavenly feeling!  I totaly understand.  After 10 months, I am praying that a hard erection will come to me as well as you in the near future.

I'll keep you poted and hope to hear from you also.

Gene6163,
Thanks for the heads-up (pardon the pun). This after noon I took on the courage to inject myself for the first time. The time appeared to be right. I was relaxed, warm, comfortable and mentally prepared to do the deed. Last night my wife and I did release our tensions after a difficult day (fall festival) unfortunately without an erection. The orgasm was almost non existant but noteciable. Anyway, the injection was for practice and penile excersize at the suggested dose on 0.05 (less then 0.1 in the office). Well by the time I got to injection the fluid amount was about 0.08. 20 minutes later I was 60% erect and getting tighter. What a wonderful feeling after 10 months. The feeling was nothing like the VED. This was natural as I can remember - wow or Yipppee like Pete said. With manual stimulation the penis actually engorged more but still hanging downward some and not horizontal nor up. But this is Ok, it's a trial run and I was so proud that I went in to the computer room to show my wife as she was playing games on the computer. She stopped playing computer, touched me and said that this is the hardest I have been since before DRP surgery. I also was given a couple of pumps by her for encouragement.

This erecetion lasted 1 hour 20 minutes where I could have had vaginal penetration. With minor stimulation about 80% of that erection remained for another 25 minutes. I must be close on the dosage and it is not near what the PA told me to try at 0.2. You are correct, after 10 months, I will probably not have what it takes to wear down 1 1/2 of erection so I plan to inject about 0.12 or so in a couple of days. The erect penis with trimix seems so much more sensitive with the nerve endings exposed I guess that some stimulation goes a long way. I was just like a teenager...... No orgasm today as I had satisfaction with a simple erection but I also did not feel the need to orgasm. The urge just was not there. When I proceed with penetration I suspect (hope) this will change.

The injection went well with very little pain (like none) and insert feeling. In it went and up she came.

Hope this helps some of you and again, thanks to all. Wish I could talk openly this way generally but I think I would be locked up. Thanks for the privacy. Replies appreciated. You make me feel comfortable and wanted. You all are in my prayers also!

PS. I'll keep you posted on my first intercourse attempt in a couple of days.
Geon

Tamu,
Thank you so much.
I'm working on my profile as time permits and will submit soon.
Thanks all for your support.

Last night was my first attempt to intercourse for over 10 months abstanence.  First trimix (0.1) in the doctors office, second at home (0.08) and third last night at 0.20 as recommended by the PA woman.  My full erection was attained within 20 minutes as expected.  Tenderness set in with burning and ache pain.  I climaxed about one hour after the firm erection with much discomfort.  As a result I could not go on with any more ativity as I much desired to aspecially after a 10 month wait.  As I lay there, the erection is getting more firm with greater discomfort.  After 1-1/2 hours I get to be a little concern.  After 2-1/2 hours I call the doctors exchange, they get the doctor asleep an I attempt to discuss my issue.  The doc tells me to ********* and it should go away.  In a void of comment following, I ask doc what about a cold pack and sudafed.  He respondes, ya that might help.  Before hanging up he tells me that I was good with an erection for up to six hours....end of conversation.   Great, I am beginning to panic and decide to try ********** to my dislike and this was impossible after about 8 to 10 minutes.  My penis was so sore it did not need to be touched...as you can understand, I was not in the mood.

I took two sudafed's and applied an ice pack. The ice pack was coooold as i put in on directly at first.  After applying the pack indirectly the pain from the cold was not as bad but the erection persisted.  4-1/4 hours later I get mentally prepared to visit the emergency room but make one more check on the erection (I did not have much feeling down there with the cold pack). Thank you God, the erection begins to subside but very slowly.  I went to bed and awoke with a normal flacid penis.

The PA was off target on the mix quantity or maybe I was too hyped up after not having this kind of sex for 10 months, I don't know.  I do know that 0.20 is too much and I also agree that a climax tends to make erection more firm.   The pain I need to deal with and currently have a call in to my URO.

All of you be extra cautious in the amount of trimix used.  I suspect that mental and physical conditions play a part in the erection outcome.  The lesser the better.

Penile injections do take some esperimentation in order to find the right dose. I take 50 mg Viagra before dinner then .05 ml Trimix injection a few hours later. This gives a very satisfactory erection that lasts for about an hour. I had some pain when first using Trimix and found that the less I use the better the feeling and the less pain. After experimenting for about 2 months with various doses of Trimix and Viagra, this combination and timing works best for me.

My uro started me with .10 ml Trimix and it was way too much. I had a 5 1/2 hour erection that was very painful. So I cut down to .02 ml and worked my way up to .05 ml in about 3 steps. I also found that taking 100 mg Viagra first was too much. With that much Viagra, .05 ml Trimix is too much for me.

After the experimenting that I did I now have erections that are very close to the non-medicated variety before cancer. On several occasions they have subsided after climax much like the natural erections did.

Like everything else in our fight with this disease, overcoming ED takes lots of patience. We have to take charge of our recovery because the docs have no personal experience in this area. ED treatment is another area where the "one size fits all" approach to medicine just doesn't work.

Biker90,  I am slowly picking up the experimentation with injection therapy.  My URO has discontinued my Cialis when I started with trimix.  My schedule now is to to injections twice a week (low dose) and high dose(?) for intamicy along with the VED on off days.  They feel that this series should bring my natural erections back sooner.

Hope you right that erections will feel more normal with dose adjustments.  I'll be backing off and starting over on Monday with 0.06 and stay there for a couple of weeks to see how stable the efffects are.  I am sorry that you had a prolonged erection for 5-1/2 hours.  It is painful and supersensitive.  I could not believe the exchange doc suggested manual climax last night as a relief knowing how painful the penis was.  Hope this condition does not happen to either of us as well as to any one else again.  But I'm sure it will by accident.

Knowing the potency of this medication I will now be more cautious as I move along.  A more methodical approach is required and with your support along with others maybe I too can erections that will feel more normal.  Now that I have the tools I need to figure out how to use them correctly.  Thank you so much for your advice.   Much appreciated.
