oops.... .01 Yeah, I think it does have more of an effect on testosterone. Time will tell for me. T44...
Howdy, Six months ago when I got my PSA results which were .1 they told me my testosterone was low at 224. They had never tested for that before so I was a bit nonplussed. Remember when you first...
All I know is I feel much better when I am actively using the elliptical and lifting weights....
Is there a punch line to this?...
Haven't been on this forum in awhile. Busy living I guess. Do have a question however. Just got my 3 year at .01 which is just what we wanted. However, they just included a testosterone test (without...
I don't know... but I'm willing to find out....
Got a bit of jolt with my results today. The lab had been reporting .005 and was told I was at .01 this afternoon. Then she explained the lab no longer goes to three decimals and that .01 is as far...
Waallen, First off lets get back on topic. I was diagnosed at 40. I turned 43 two days ago. My surgery was on August 19th of 2009 and had one side nerves spared. It took close to a year to recover...
I can tell you that when you find the right woman it won't matter. I got divorced (hardly due to pca it was doomed before diagnosis) and dated several girls before finding my new wife. It was a mind...
In addition, I just looked at that study. I wonder if they factor people eating bacon, pancakes, syrup, butter, and everything else with those eggs. Ridiculous....
Steve Jobs was a strict vegan/fruitarian and look where it got him. I am highly skeptical of any study that links eggs to any cancer. You can probably link drinking from paper cups with cancer if you...
Yeah, I certainly don't want to be a downer to those who are struggling but a positive note needs to be trumpeted from time to time because PC doesn't mean you can't still excel at life in general. I...
Negatives Weigh about 20 pounds more then I want to Work has been a PITA! Positives Married August 6th 2 yr psa yesterday came in at .005 bench pressed 300# for the first time ever a week ago (goal...
Yeah, cialis was a disaster for me as well. I remember my ex-wife telling me to rule it out and try it again. It was awful. Only thing that relieved the back pain was getting in the hot tub. As soon...
I divorced 7 months after surgery. 8 years and it was over. Sex was an issue but not from ED. She simply didn't like it to begin with. So you can imagine how difficult that made any recovery. Now...
decrease in weight would also increase your psa....
If your doctor did a digital exam prior to your blood test this would elevate your PSA. Especially if he did it immediately before drawing your blood. With a free psa of 20% there is still a fair...
I would have to agree, at 42 and closing in on 2 years post surgery with one side spared I don't need viagra anymore. Still, that doesn't mean I won't use it!...
He is fine. Sure did spook him for a bit though. T42...
Thanks for the reply. He was able to pee a little bit. He made the mistake in thinking because he had little problems the first time around that it was no big deal. So he went back to work this time...
My brother just got a second biopsy and he woke up with his underwear fairly bloody. He is concerned because that didn't happen the first time. It has been 8hours and so far he feels the urge to...
I'm now at 17 months after my surgery. Got a call from the hospital today asking me how I was doing. Found that odd but reminded me to do an update here. Got my latest psa back earlier this month and...
Took me a year and I had only one side spared. At 1 1/2 I just got my .005 reading on psa and with viagra I'm 100% so its all good....
Best thing that ever happened for my recovery was getting divorced. A loveless marriage is hard enough but add RP and believe me when I understand where you are coming from. I was divorced in April...
Ok Arizona, There are some guys here who are having major difficulty with their recovery. I think that is due to several different reasons and when combined causes even more problems. First you have...
I started breaking them in half and 50mg works great every time. Again, only difference is the cost. I believe 2011 is the end of the patent life on viagra so we could see a significant drop in price...
Cialis gave me horrible back pains. Pills didn't do a thing. Took about 48 hours to get it out of my system. Took five days of no sleep to finally figure out it was the cialis. I use viagra and other...
I'm at 100% using 50mg of viagra. Works every time now. I started seeing some recovery at 8 months. It keeps getting better for me so far. T42...
It is like any other muscle. If you don't exercise it it won't be of much use. I'm at 15 months and occasionally don't need to use anything for sex. I still take 100mg viagra 4 to 5 times a week and...
I used Muse as therapy. It was never sufficient at any dose to use it for anything else. That said, I do believe it is beneficial as a source of rehabilitation. Just not for the bedroom. T40.......
I'm at 14 months with one side of nerves spared. Was able to perform yesterday morning without using anything other then waking up and then "waking up" again. That was fun. When I do use viagra it...
Well, I'm a lot younger then your dad. I'm 42 now and with 1/2 the nerves spared at the 14 month mark I see good results with Viagra and recently was able to function without any supplements at all....
I was more worried about getting a cold with a bad cough after surgery. The horror of having a catheter and a bad cough.......
IVF costs around 12k an attempt at the moment in the US. I saved 7 samples before my surgery. It is possible to extract more using a needle. I blanched at that thought which is why I stored the...
At the four month mark after surgery I started the P90X and finished it 90 days later. About two weeks ago I maxed out on the bench press with two reps of 260. At the 14 month mark I am pretty much...
Just had my one year drawn yesterday and got the result this afternoon. I'm at .005 and holding....
My advice is to give your girlfriend the benefit of the doubt. I did and was upfront about what had happened to me. She took her own initiative and read up on PC just like I did when I first got...
I will keep this as brief and informative as possible. 1. 41 and will turn 42 in two months. Hit the one year mark after surgery on August 19th. One side nerves spared and was told 1 1 /2 to 2 years...
Howdy, What I did for months was use it in the morning and at night. I would pump up and hold it for 20 seconds. Release and repeat 5 times. Doesn't take long at all. I hit the one year mark about 3...
Is your dad taking Cialis? I'm 41 and Cialis kept me awake for 96 hours from the incredible back pain. It was similar and almost as bad as having a kidney stone. Once I realized it was the Cialis I...
There is some thought that exercise increases blood flow and assists with the healing process. Closing in on one year and I exercise 5 to 6 rimes a week. I'm younger but I still think exercising has...
That is statistically very significant. Now I wonder if just dropping your cholesterol by diet rather then drugs would have the same effect. It certainly justifies some who contend that diet makes a...
I think the effect would be minimal....
I use 100mg every night and have done so for the last 3 months. At 10 months I got about a 90% response tonight. Is it worth it? I just ordered again from ADC a 4 month supply. Damn right its worth...
My PA told me yesterday that by all rights viagra shouldn't work for me at all yet. So I think the working out might have A LOT to do with my recovery. In fact, heading out in a minute to hit the...
SW3 Some will, some won't, so what.... next My way of handling this situation, which is rapidly approaching, is simple and direct. I will say,"I'm going to tell you something that might make you...
Well, I was told it would take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years to recover from ED due to my nerves only being spared on one side. I work out 4 to 5 times a week doing about an hour of cardio and some weight...
I'm 41 and 10 months removed from surgery. I use a 100mg every day and I bought it from ADC. With the generic viagra I am seeing results vary from 70 to 90%. With only one side of nerves spared and a...
Preventative maintenance is the key for a colonoscopy. Someone must have been hating on me when they told me that the pineapple flavor was the best option. It was absolutely vile. My brother told me...
back pain is a common side effect of cialis. Viagra can probably cause it too....
