Medications Improving PC recovery ? any Data ? / Experiences?

Hi Everyone,
i was wondering how many of you fellow survivors are using oral meds/supplements to expedite the recovery process from PCA side effects.
I am taking daily L-Argenine (750mg) , Flogard supplement (Dr. Prescribed that contain Vitamin "B" and others to hea and rebuild nerve system), i also take Multi Vitamin daily as well.
Does anyone uses those meds or some ? and notice any improvement in recovery ? mainly nerve Bundles and ED?

Thanks for the Information and participating in that Post

Good morning GB
The hospital I go to has me meet with a naturopath and I was prescribed a good vitamin regimine to help with the side effects of the drugs as well as build the body. For me I am sad to say nothing helps with the impotence, but I feel pretty good most of the time. If you would like I will gladly list what I take.
Please stay in touch.

peace grace
and love
Dale

I have been taking a senior multivitamin for years, a 2000mg dose of l-
argenine since catheter removal, and 5omg of generic Viagra. No improvement whatsoever on the ED front. That's coming up on 8 months week after next.

LArginine, vitamin B-50, C and E (your healing vitamins), a frequent dose of one of the big 3 (Levitra, Viagra or Cialis) and some good, good lovin should aid any man's nerves. Not so bad for the women either :>)

On the seriouser side...lol...L-Arginine is a precursor to NO. It may not create a faster erection but it will enhance the general healing process and it does help the effectiveness of the oral meds. once there has been enough nerve regenration for oral meds to be effective. Men with low to zero testosterone may see no benefit using L-A. I'd probably side with safety and ask about using L-A while on hormone depriviation therapy anyway. May not benefit being the key words here. Ya just never know! A good brand, although expensive, is San VasoFlow.

Note of interest.... Most major burn centers use L-Arginine in treating burn patients. It's also a common enzyme use by CF patients. Interestingly, PDE5 drugs were created as a drug for pediatric pulmonary hypertension. It makes sense that LArginine would benefit select children with P-Htn w/o renal insufficiency

Note: Keep in mind there are some people who cannot or should not use L-A (such as kidney patients).

Take 100MG Viagra about 3 times a week. No visible results yet other than occasional pinkish tint to skin and some slightly engorged blood vessels. Also take vitamin E and a multivitamin daily.

Bought some L-Arginine (only 500MG daily due to my kidney failure), vitamin B-50 and vitamin C today. Won't hurt and MIGHT help....thanks for posting this thread.

Also using vacuum pump and injections.

HI GB,

To answer your question - yes - at 10 months a steady improvment all around for us,  and noticeable, so good luck - looks like those nerves were spared!! However caution, we tried without meds and experienced some disappointment at 12 months, which was a set-back (psychologically). My opinion is to cut down rather than suddenly cease ED meds. Now back on them - and too busy to relax - never mind. Husband as I say this is current asleep in front on lounge! However I reckon stay on them for a while as could take up to 2 years. I am starting Swim's regime, and planning to research it. Sounds good...
