Lanie, I kind of stumbled on to it :) I've had some heart issues and saw an interview with Dr. Joseph Mercola on Dr. Oz's tv show recently. He recommended L Arginine for heart disease. I did some...
For what it's worth, I stopped taking the L Arginine for 2 days this week and my morning fasting glucose went back up to around 115. I resumed taking 1000mg 2x/day and it again dropped to the mid...
thanks for that info on molybdenum "It's Genetic", but I was asking about the amino acid L Arginine....
I am borderline diabetic, as my typical fasting glucose in the morning is 115-125. However, I began taking just 1000mg of L- arginine recently for my heart and now my morning readings have been...
We call our local support group the Reluctant Brotherhood....
When I was in college, living with several other students in an apartment, we all brought kitchen utensils from home and took turns cooking. We found we had 2 turkey basters, but one was larger than...
I thought about asking my surgeon for the video of my robotic surgery. My cardiologist gave me a copy of my angiogram/angioplasty a few years ago and I was fascinated watching it. But I figure that...
To the moderator: I find it interesting and a little inconsistent that in a forum where I and most of us speak freely about sex-related issues, that my use of the M-word got edited out to...
John, Although I hesitate to recommend what I did, :nono: I was at the driving range 5 days after the catheter was removed and was surprised at how good I felt, and no pain or discomfort. I was...
Kris The Levitra website says the most common side effects are headache, flushing and stuffy or running nose. I also had a little indigestion when I first started taking it. Now I settled on Viagra...
Anglophile. Every day...every day. It cant hurt and probably helps keep the blood flowing and re-training the nerves to do what they are supposed to do. After years in Catholic school with the nuns...
phillysub, I also lived with BPH for about 10 yrs but when my PSA increased, I had the biopsy and the PCa diagnosis. My prostate was fairly large at 87grams. I had the robotic surgery and within 2...
I met with the ED specialist yesterday. He said MUSE has been around before the Viagra drugs but was only effective in about 15% of the cases. When Viagra hit the market with 70-80% efficacy, MUSE...
Does anyone have any experience with the MUSE approach to help with ED? I did a search on this forum but didnt find much. I'm 6 months after robotic operation and think I'm a little behind the curve...
Loup, Welcome to the forum. I was pad free by 10 weeks. I wasnt very good at doing the Kegel exercises on a regular basis post op but I did do them pre op. Maybe that helped. I dont do them anymore...
KMC51, I also had a very large prostate (87cc) but my surgeon said the nerves were spared. It's been 6 mos. now since my surgery and I see very little change in the ED department. I tried a pump one...
I read the post "reason for my continued incontinence-stricture" and find that I'm not alone. Havent got to talk to the doc yet but meanwhile I've eliminated coffee, beer and tomatoes from my diet...
Thanks everyone for your inputs. I did some reading online about the bladder irritation I have and now I think I may have 'interstitial cystitis". I'll ask my doctor about it. At my most recent...
I had my DaVinci surgery about 4 months ago. I have no problem with leaking...havent used a pad in 2 months or needed to do the Kegel exercise but I think now I'm showing signs of "strictures" (scar...
I asked my surgeon about the pump. He didnt think it's therapeutic, just a way to get an erection until hopefully the real thing happens. But he did say it was only his opinion, so I bought a cheap...
Thanks guys for the info. Yes, I read that stomach upset can be a side effect of Viagra, as it is with other meds I'm taking. Even though I've never had an upset stomach with any of my meds, maybe...
I tried to go out bluefishing last week and got really seasick. No one else on the boat got sick and the Long Island Sound was relatively calm so I'm wondering if the 100mg viagra pill I took the day...
I too am patiently waiting for my first erection. I just got my 3 month PSA results and it's <0.01% so the cancer seems to have been stopped. Havent leaked for weeks and no longer wear any pads so...
As long as we're confessing our screwups, I put a pad in backwards with the sticky side towards me !! Ouch ! :yeah:...
I don't want to sound like some kind of tough guy, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I drove myself to and from the biopsy. I was uncomfortable and sore after it for the rest of the day...
I agree with the other posts about letting your body be your guide. Listen to it. I think you should start resuming all your activities but start SLOWLY at a REDUCED RATE and gradually ease into your...
OK. I've cut back to 9 holes of golf instead of 18 :) No bloody urine today. And golf isnt really strenuous exercise for me....I have a nice easy swing. And I think I'm in pretty good shape compared...
bobsmom: I had robotic surgery so I was only in the hospital overnight. From my back surgeries in the past, I've found that if you show the doctor when he does his rounds the next day that you are...
Hi Y'all ! I just discovered this forum and am glad to find such a wealth of info. I feel like I'm very fortunate to have caught my disease in its early stages while I'm still healthy enough to...
